CF 9 on Windows 2003 installation problem

Question

We've been trying to upgrade CF MX 7.02 (multiserver)  to CF 9 on Windows 2003 and installation ended with 2 errors:
Install JRE:           C:\JRun4\jre
                           Status: ERROR
                           Additional Notes: ERROR - Error Copying the JRE to the destination directory
                                             ZeroGlq: Target file was read only or did not have write permissions and was not overwritten
Web Server Connector Configuration Error
                           Status: ERROR
                           Additional Notes: ERROR - JNDI port 2904 for server cfusion is not active
Now Windows can not start JRun CFusion service there at all.
The most weird thing is that we seem to be unable to uninstall what got installed of CF 9: [Remove] button in Add or Remove Programs does not do anything.
It works normally with the other programs but it would not remove CF 9.
The C://JRun4/Uninstall/Uninstall Cold Fusion 9.exe does not execute either while executables have been added into Control Panel -> System -> Advanced -> Performance -> Data Execution Prevention.
What would we do at this point?
Thank you!

Hi,
Sounds like you got trouble there and I worry suggestions on forum  may not be the best or indeed on track.
I guess c:\jrun4 was the same folder that CF7 installed and perhaps CF7 did not uninstall well or upgrade well to what is now a broken  CF9. So now your currently not functional at all I guess you can be brutal and apply forceful changes since you seem to be in place where you can not easily go forward or back. How about this?
-rename jrun4
-reboot
-install CF9 again to newly created jrun4 folder
That way you can keep your neo*.xml files to refer and hopefully have a working file set present with  CF9 functional.
HTH, Carl.
