If you run a web server on your machine and you have Skype, you might have problems with Skype preventing your web sites from starting. If you try to start them you'll get a message stating that the resource is in use... this is because Skype automatically takes over ports 80 and 443 as "alternatives for incoming connections."
I recently updated my work laptop to 64-Bit Windows 7 so that I could up my RAM, and found that after installing CF IIS 7.0 threw 0x800700c1 errors. Luckily, after some googling, I found the answer.
This post isn't anything new, but I felt that I should document that yet another person has wasted some of their life struggling to get CF working on an IIS7 machine. I first ran into this problem about 6 months ago when trying to install CF8 on Windows Server 2008 (64-bit), and we had so many problems doing it that the server was rolled back to Windows Server 2003 (32-bit) to get around it. Today I had to get CF9 installed on a Vista, and had to deal with the same issues all over again. Luckily the solution was simpler this time, and involved only one reinstall of CF, rather than 5 and a full wipe of an OS like last time.
Why hasn't this been fixed by now?
Oh, and for those needing a solution, I found mine at Dale Fraser's Blog.
So, while working on stuff my IIS install randomly started spitting out a freaky error message. I did a Google search and came up with this blog post. No idea what brought it on, but follow the directions there and everything goes back to normal.
