I also had issues with the updates. MM's advice - which I took at face value - was to try again. I was there since "Neo" (can't ait for the next Matrix film) and the first updater was a real pain in the arse. Destructor of a - MM standard - installation.
Updater 2 (cumalative - unlike many of Micro$ofts updates) went AOK and fixed the unique CFADMIN scheduler bug. I'll work with MK to help him get up and running in CFMX Dev environment. For Free. Not $US500 (although I could buy a new lounge suite for that!). Not satisfied until MK is happy.

Hi Mike, While I havent had simmilar issues with XP, I did encounter simmilar problems under 2k adv server when running updater 2 and having to reinstall CFMX to resolve some issue associated - I resolved by going back to the prior image with cf5 again, and then installing CFMX as an upgrade over the top. I found a number of issues with trying to reinstall, even after a fairly thorough purge of everything CF I could find. Appologies if any of my comments regarding DFU's were interpreted as being in regards to you personally. They were aimed at the generic example case with regards to policy establishment rather then any specific individual..
