I had the exact sample problem installing CF9 after having CF8 installed. I just ignored the .car file and set up everything manually. I had no previous experience and there weren't too many settings.
Definitely a problem...

Each developer had previously been running CF8. Created a .car file of their settings. Uninstalled CF8, rebooted. Installed CF9 64-bit developer, rebooted. Restored .car file. System ran fine until services got restarted at some point -- either through a reboot or simply restarting the services for some other purpose. jvm.config as well as numerous other settings files showed essential paths pointing to \Coldfusion8 rather than \Coldfusion9. Fixing these paths resolved the problem. The same installation process was followed for 32-bit installations on XP machines. These workstations had no problem, and showed no path problems in jvm.config or other files.

I realize that's kind of a pain, but we've been running CF 9 >> 64-bit on Windows Server 2008 with no problems. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
