Thanks Marc!
I was just about to try that myself BUT...
I dug a little deeper into the customtags being called by that step in the wizard. I
figured out that the error is being thrown because of a call to the
<cf_addSecurityContext> tag (..\spectra\customtags\system\tier0\security)
here's the code in the caller...
<cfa_newinternaladminsecurity
action="addSecurityContext"
securitycontext="#scName#"
description="#scDesc#"
update="no">
The problem is... the tag itself has a required attribute called "Name". It appears
that the install wizard is passing in the "SecurityContext" attribute instead.
So...
NEW QUESTIONS:
1. Does anybody know of some patch, service pack, or the like that made modifications
to the <cf_addSecurityContext> tag in Spectra 1.5.1 or older? If such a thing exists,
I'd rather use it instead of modifying the code myself.
2. If my only choices are...
A. Modify the caller code myself so it will call the tag as intended
or
B. Just skip the step altogether as Marc and jump to the next substep via URL params.
Which would be preferable?

I got the same error when I was re-installing Spectra 1.5.2 on CF MX.
Fortunately, my brilliant network administrator was working with me and
suggested, "just edit the URL to skip to the next step". Lo and behold -
it worked! Just edit the next step variable to the next number (4 to 5
perhaps) and don't worry about any URL vars after that. Hope it works for
you, too.
