re: [ACFUG Discuss] Installing CF MX 6.1 on W2K3

[Mischa Uppelschoten ext 10]

I've had a similar issue with UPS software that claimed it wouldn't run on '03 where in fact it ran fine. Here is one suggestion: if possible, extract the updater to a folder (or copy the contents of the CD to a folder) and right click on the installer, then Properties. Look for the Compatibility tab and choose a supported operating system. When running the installer, it will "think" it's running on the OS you picked.   Of course it may be that the CFMX 6(.1) installer is a bit overzealous and won't accept a platform it doesn't recognize, OR it may be right and Win 2003 is truly not supported. Anyway, I would not recommend this for production systems.
