* {color:#333333}We have one known issue with the installer for Window Server 2003 users. If you are planning to use the installer to set up a trial package, you will need to manually create a new IIS Web Site before you run the installer. On Step 3 of the wizard titled "Public Website Configuration," use the drop-down menu to select the web site that you manually created beforehand. The option to {color}{color:#333333}{*}Create New Website{*}{color}{color:#333333} does not work for Windows Server 2003. The installer works fine on all other operating systems without having to create a new IIS Web Site manually. {color}\*\* {color:#333333}When manually creating your IIS Web Site, make sure that the following IIS properties are correctly set:{color}\**\** {color:#333333}{*}Execute permissions option > *{color}{color:#333333}{*}Scripts Only{*}{color}\*\* {color:#333333}ASP.NET version > {color}{color:#333333}{*}2.0.50727{*}{color}

h3. {color:#000000}{*}Completely Uninstalling ECF after a Successful or Failed Installation{*}{color}

{color:#333333}To completely uninstall a successful or failed installation, do these four tasks:{color}
* {color:#333333}Delete the Mediachase installation folder (typically found into C:\Program Files){color}

* {color:#333333}Delete the newly created database{color}

* {color:#333333}Delete the site in IIS{color}

* {color:#333333}Delete Quartz service running{color}

{color:#333333}If the install failed and depending on where it failed, you may not need to do all four, but at the minimum delete the entire Mediachase folder under Program Files.{color}
