I had a similar problem when I installed Excite...I think it had to do with
proper directory specifications and forward slashes versus backward... It
took me about three tries to get it installed properly, as well, but once I
did, it's worked fine. Updates are reasonably easy and quick. (Bookmark the
admin page, and just run it weekly, or after major updates).
I've been wondering about using a single instance of the engine on multiple
virtual servers, which they say they support...but their help info is a
little cryptic here...just mentions URL mapping.
I'd recommend getting in touch with the people at Excite...they were
helpful when I contacted them, and the product works well.
Just my .02.
