Hi Matthew,
On Windows FusionReactor Setup examines the registry for suitable
target server which are then displayed in the
'Choose Target Server' panel. For CF8 it looks for the registry key
'CFMXRoot' in hive
"SOFTWARE\\Adobe\\Install Data\\Adobe ColdFusion 8 which contains the
directory in which the CF8 server is installed.
On Unix the file system is searched for the CF8 root directory using
the regular expression
"[cC][oO][lL][dD][fF][uU][sS][iI][oO][nN].*8". If the server has been
installed into a directory which is not matched by this regular
expression the Setup does not find it automatically.
If FusionReactor Setup did not find CF8 you should still be able to
add it manually (using the 'Browse..' button) by choosing the root
directory of the CF8 server (see page 9 of the installation guide). If
this does not work the directory structure of the CF8 server must be
different to the default and you have to manually install FR as
described on page 40 in the installation guide.
Hope that helped
Bernd
