>- see footer for list info -< Dear all, After a huge amount of effort there is a solution for the Win2003+SP1 installation problem. I had to do a silent install of CF - that's the workaround thanks to the screwy CF installer.
Big thanks to Andy Allen for getting Macromedia to listen to me. What kind of a company fobs off users who try to report a major bug? As I imagined the MM management were rather surprised to hear how badly I was treated and I even got an apology (but no free software!). So why don't their train their monkeys better in the art of customer service? I've posted the full solution on the MM CF forum to help others who have just about had it with MM. Of course you'll have to read my bitching before you get to the solution. ;-) http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=2&threadid=1087047&CFID=8825962&CFTOKEN=c28441f55f36011-B7480CE0-C470-3A66-140DAD59AE7FFD71&jsessionid=4830349ba6cf642987c3 Incidentally, I think BlueDragon is amazing. It's faster, more reliable, and gives you direct access to 1000's of .NET components using CFML, plus you can have .NET includes mixed in with your CFML code, it does shared .NET sessions (brilliant for clustering), and there are extra and improved tags. So why aren't I using it? Because it doesn't currently have a CFDocument tag with all of its functionality and the CF ReportBuilder. But I never say never. :-) Best wishes to everyone, Gary.
