After spending a week trying to get the FLMM 1.5beta version to load CF, I gave up and went back to 1.31. I followed the CF Guide procedure exactly, and it worked perfectly on the first try! I have had problems with this procedure in the past, but there was usually something I missed, like shutting down all AV & anti-spyware first, having a defragged drive to start from, etc. I finally quit messing with the default installation paths on CF & the 1.7a patch, and they work just fine without me...
