Coldfusion and windows(or how I learned to hate everything)

Posted 2 years, 8 months ago on July 18, 2006 by yerma  Web Development, Work

I was receiving the following rror when trying to add an odbc socket datasource on a cfmx7 box:

Unable to update the ColdFusion MX ODBC Server.
Timeout period expired without completion of C:\CFusionMX\db\slserver52\admin\swcla.exe


After trying a few things(updater 2, re-running complete install package etc) it was still broken and I was left with a bit of a quandry and unfortunately only a couple of hours to sort it out in.
I opted for a full re-install of windows but was very annoyed to see that even with the full re-install I was unable to get it working so I re-downloaded the install package(with updater 2 applied) and re-installed cf. Thankfully this time it worked and I was able to get it working before the clients realised anything was up.
PLEASE NOTE
This link was useful but the lies told here caused more annoyance than anything else. The knowledgebase article does not work in cfmx7 so don't believe their lies.
