The Dreamweaver MX 2004 installation is straightforward. It requires a Windows platform and uses a standard Windows installer.
During the installation you will be prompted for information:
Installation location.
Files to associate Dreamweaver with (for ColdFusion development you'll want to make sure that .cfm and .cfc are selected).
Activation serial number. Activation requires that you be connected to the Internet. Without activation, Dreamweaver will run as a trial edition.
Once installed, program Start menu options will be created.
