Laurie, You will need a 64bit version of the COM. Moreover, Win2003 to Win2008 is a fairly substantial move where COM is largely deprecated in favor of .NET.

For the most part, everything's gone smoothly, but we're having issues with a COM object they've been using since before we took over management of their site in 2005. The error we get is: An exception occurred when instantiating a COM object. The cause of this exception was that: java.lang.RuntimeException: Can not use native code: Initialisation failed. In scouring the 'net for almost 8 hours yesterday I found a few posts on message boards or in comments on blogs which claim that ColdFusion 9 running in 64-bit will not work with a 32-bit COM object. But I've picked through the Adobe site and haven't been able to find any concrete proof of this. If this is in fact true, it's going to cause a whole host of headaches and additional costs for the client, so I'm looking for some confirmation. Can anyone confirm this is the case, or -- even better -- provide a link to someplace where Adobe confirms it? Thanks in advance! -laurie ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:334418 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
