Installing ColdFusion 8 & 9 on Vista and Windows 7

I still get asked about installing ColdFusion 8 on Windows 7 and Vista from time to time I remember when Vista SP1 came out and ColdFusion would no longer just "install" like it should and it took a bit of tinkering to come up with the solution. Dale Fraser worked this out for us and it works perfectly on Vista and Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008. This is also the same process for ColdFusion 9.

A little while ago I also created a step by step walk through and here it is: Installing ColdFusion on Windows 7

Once that is setup you might like to create addition HOST entries so you access your sites locally via host name rather then http://localhost/site1 Steve Withington has a walkthrough on the process here.

There is sound to this as I step through the process.

If you are interested in Windows Server 2008 and ColdFusion 9 install here is a walk through: http://vc.kukiel.net/cf9win2k8

Hopefully the Adobe team is adding is support for Native IIS modules in 9 and will resolve the manual process, as well as increase performance
