Vista is not a supported platform for ColdFusion 7.

This looks like Vista permissions problems. By default, user
accounts
don't seem to have permission to write to c:\inetpub\wwwroot
on Vista.
I haven't (yet) figured out how to change that (I'm very new
to Vista
myself) so I simply run programs as administrator to write to
that
directory. Instead of just clicking on DW to start it,
right-click and
Run As Administrator... Then it should be able to write to
wwwroot.
Worked for my for Notepad :)
I'm *not* recommending this from a security point of view.
Much better
to figure out how to change the permissions on the wwwroot
directory
so you don't need administrator access!

Well, you bought Vista... Like I say, I'm new to Vista as
well and
whilst I dislike it less than I disliked XP, I find it more
frustrating in terms of security. That's why I normally use a
Mac :)
