I tried installing the development edition of Macromedia Coldfusion MX(6.1) , but I just couldn’t get it working on my Windows 2000 server edition. It seems Macromedia decided to use an open source installer which just couldn’t get the job done…..two thumbs down for MM in that corner. The installer kept asking me for an installation directory after in which it unpacked the setup but still kept asking for an installation directory. So i decided to trash Coldfusion. I will wait until they have their stuff ready for use and check back on it then.

In the mean time, i still need a backbone for my RIA. Since Microsoft.NET technology is supported by MM through Flash Remoting for .NET i thought i might try that :). It installed without a problem. woohoo! ;).

To make Flash MX 2004 support the remoting procedures and funtions etc, you will need the components provided free by MM. You can get them here.

When i figure out how this new backbone works, I’ll let you know ;)
