Upgrading 6.1 to 7.0.2 Issues - Windows 2003 Server SP-1

Question

Last night I attempted to upgrade our Standard version
CFMX6.1 to MX7.0.2 on our Windows Server 2003, SP-1, and I
encountered errors consistent with those described in TechNote
228c3aaa --
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=228c3aaa&sliceId=1.
So far, the first 3 solutions suggested by the TechNote didn't
work. During on installation attempt, I didn't have option to
install MX7 as "Server Configuration" because it was grayed out),
so I uninstalled MX7 (wanting to just get back to a working version
of 6.1). Well, that really screwed things up. My website could no
longer process .cfm files, and the CFIDE directory was complete
gone.
So, I installed MX7 twice more...the first time with 4
errors, the second with 2. I then used the Web Server Configuration
Tool (the one included in MX7) and now my sites seem to be working,
but as 6.1...which is better than not at all.
Here are my questions:
1) Does the 4th solution (copying the CFusionMX7 directory
from another working server) really have a chance at working
correctly?
2) If it does, will MX7 know the first time I open the admin
page that this is a new upgrade, and thus walk me through the
Migration Wizard (which I really want)?
3) What do I need to do to get my websites to run with the
MX7 extensions, rather than the MX61 like they are now --assuming I
get questions 1 and 2 answered?
I know this is a lot to read. Thanks for taking time to
consider helping me out.

Answer 1

Hi Ken,
Thanks for the response. Couple follow up questions:
As far as the migration/configuration wizard goes, here is
what I am looking to migrate:
- Data Sources
- custom tags
- email server setup
- missing template settings
- Java and JVM -- Server Settings
I think that's it. So, given that, what would the below
adminConfig.xml need to look like? Again, I am upgrading from MX6.1
to MX7.0.2. Let me take a stab at it:
<setupconfig>
<runsetupwizard>true</runsetupwizard>
<runmigrationwizard>false</runmigrationwizard>
<runmxmigrationwizard>true</runmxmigrationwizard>
<migratecf5>false</migratecf5>
<migratecf6>true</migratecf6>
<setupoptions>
<sampleapps>false</sampleapps>
<odbc>true</odbc>
<enablerds>false</enablerds>
</setupoptions>
</setupconfig>
My second question might be irrelevant, but I am curious. The
way it is setup now, I can't get into the CF Admin page (since the
uninstall of CFMX7 removed it), but I know I am running 6.1 because
I tried to hit a test page with a <CFDOCUMENT> tag, and CF
said it didn't know what that tag was. But, when I go into IIS and
look a the Application Configuration for .cfm extensions, it has a
mapping to C:\CFusionMX7\runtime\lib\wsconfig\jrun_iis6.dll. Any
ideas?
Thanks so much for your help.
