After installing ColdFusion 10 the ColdFusion 10 Application Server service is not running. When I attempt to start the service, Windows gives me the following error message: "Windows could not start the ColdFustion 10 Application Server on Local Computer. For more information, review the System Event Log. If this is a non-Microsoft service, contact the service vender and refer to service-specific error code 0."
In the System Event Log, I see the following entry:
Error
ColdFusion 10 Application Server
Event ID: 256
The description for Event ID 256 from source ColdFusion 10 Application Server cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.
If I try to run ColdFusion installer again, it tells me that its already installed. Trying to uninstall just leads to the uninstaller saying "Please wait, Adobe ColdFustion 10 is being configured for your system. This may take a moment..." - and nothing happens for hours.
This machine already has ColdFusion 9 installed on it, and my website is running on this server.
