Right. Neither will work. > Does this mean wrappers around these 32-bit COM objects won't work? This is entirely dependent on the nature of the wrapper, I suppose. > Under what circumstances will <cfobject type="COM"> work in 64-bit > applications and why doesn't > your coldfusion 9 developer's guide have any mention or elaboration on this > for developers who actually > READ your documentation? It won't work under any circumstances, as per the quoted technote. > Don't you think people would need to know, from reading your documentation > when working with COM > objects, that information like "Coldfusion COM interoperability not supported > in 64-bit version" IS IMPORTANT? Presumably, that's why it was mentioned. > Also, a lot of times these COM objects are 3rd party components which the CF > programmer did not code > themselves, and just have the COM object interfaces to play with - why would > you go and assume we would > know what COM INTEROPERABILITY covers, and not provide any further > elaboration? There really isn't anything to elaborate. CF x64 can't use COM. There is NO interoperability.
