BlueDragon 7.1: Deploying CFML on ASP.NET and the Microsoft .NET Framework 8
2.2.1 Installation Alternatives
You will next be offered a choice of four options for installing BlueDragon.NET, which will
configure the Microsoft IIS web server and .NET framework to process files with the .cfm,
.cfml, .cfc or .cfchart extension. You can implement BlueDragon to configure:
• All Web Sites
• Selected Web Site(s)
• Manual Configuration
• Single Virtual Directory
The first three options will implement BlueDragon in a global way so that all CFML pages in all
directories and virtual directories on the selected web site(s) will be processed by BlueDragon.
BlueDragon will be installed as a managed assembly that resides in the Global Assembly Cache
(GAC). The BlueDragon installer also makes the XML modifications needed in the system-wide
web.config file to extend the .NET framework to process CFML using BlueDragon. These are
discussed further in Section 6. Additional support files will be placed, by default, in:
C:\Program Files\New Atlanta\BlueDragon.NET
The fourth option differs from the first three in that it will let you indicate a single virtual direc-
tory in a selected web site where BlueDragon will place all needed support files, including the
web.config, bin directory, and changes in IIS will be made only for that virtual directory (no
global changes will be made). You will be prompted for the directory to use or create within the
selected web site. (If a web.config file already exists, the installer will simply update it for the
needed BlueDragon entries, and if a bin directory already exists, the BlueDragon DLLs will
simply be added to that.)
For all but the third option, BlueDragon will configure IIS so that CFML files are processed by
BlueDragon by way of the .NET framework (as discussed in section 6.4). It will also prompt to
indicate if these changes would overwrite any existing extension mappings for CFML-related
files (.cfm, .cfml, .cfc, and .cfchart).
The third option leaves you to make the extension mapping changes manually, when desired. See
section 7.2 for more information.
Depending on the installation option you choose, BlueDragon may prompt you to stop the IIS
Admin service. After installation has completed, IIS will be restarted by the BlueDragon instal-
ler.
2.2.2 Upgrading or Uninstalling BlueDragon
If you wish to upgrade from BlueDragon.NET 6.2 or 7.0 to 7.1, simply run the 7.1 installer
which will detect and upgrade your current 6.2 or 7.0 installation. Note, however, that it is not
possible to upgrade to BlueDragon.NET 7.1 on Windows Server 2008 or Windows Vista; on
these operating systems you must first uninstall the older version of BlueDragon.NET before in-
stalling 7.1.
