CF Problem on Windows Server 2003R2

[medwright74]

I'm trying to get CF 7.02 Enterprise installed on a server running Windows
Server 2003R2 and keep running into the same problem namely that when I install
CF IIS starts asking for a username and password to access any webpage on the
server.

Initially I had PLESK on the server and found something on their site about
running the reconfigurator to restore directory permissions after installing
CF. I did this as per their instructions but still no joy.

I've even gone as far as uninstalling plesk, CF and IIS and then reinstalling
IIS (no username/password asked for)then reinstalling CF (this is when it
starts asking for username/password not just on the administrator but all
pages). As soon as I uninstall CF again all is fine.

I even went as far as trying it on Apache on windows and that works fine but
really I need it on IIS.

I have also tried making a list of all the various user permissions before and
after installing CF - but there is no difference in them. I've also read
through the install log to see if there was any clues in there but nothing.

I'm getting to the desperation stage now so any help would be very much
appreciated.

Thanks

I would recommend:
1) Remove any existing CFMX connectors. You can run
cfusionmx7\bin\remove_all_connectors.bat in a DOS window.
2) Create a new IIS test website.
3) Run the wsconfig tool from the cfmx program group or
\cfusionmx7\runtime\bin\wsconfig. In the
GUI select your test website. Under advanced options (button) select verbose
logging. Also select checkbox to enable for coldfusion.
Review the install guide - it shows you what should have been setup in IIS,
confirm things appear to be installed correctly.
4) Test.
5) If things are failing check the verbose logs you are creating under
cfmx_root\runtime\lib\wsconfig\1. Anything obvious in the logs.
6) Installation support is free for licensed CF owners - use it.

(If you need a login it is just your email and a pwd you choose.)

Did you ever get this problem resolved? I am having the exact same issue with
my GoDaddy Virtual Dedicated Server. I followed the instructions above but had
no success. I'm pretty sure this has to do with permissions to DLLs but I'm not
sure. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks.
