Mike, I’m catching up on the past several messages from my overnight. So bummer about what’s happened. (And let me be clear: I had only said I had run my CF11 on Windows 10, not CF9. The rest of my earlier thoughts were focused on why CF9.0 would not work by default with IIS7.)
So as for your challenge, one of Andrew’s ideas is interesting, about having Win7 first, to do the install of CF9, and THEN upgrading Windows. But that’s a hassle, of course, as you have already upgraded Windows. And using VM’s is certainly another way to go, but again may be overkill for your immediate need. So back to the root cause problem, Andrew and Paul propose that it could be that CF9 would not install on Windows 8, let alone 10. I’d think if that was so, we’d have heard about that from others for the past couple of years, but I have not (but it may be I have just missed the news). I wonder if there may be something else about your setup that’s unique. I can’t think of an alternative off the top of my head. I’d like to try running that 902 installer on my own Win 8.1 (and 10) setup, but can’t do that for another couple of hours. If anyone else shares any experience/confirmation (past or present), it could be interesting to hear. I’m just not so ready to give up on your hope yet. :-) /charlie From: cfaussie@googlegroups.com [mailto:cfaussie@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Mike K Sent: Tuesday, August 11, 2015 8:44 AM To: cfaussie Subject: Re: [cfaussie] CF and Windows 10 and IIS Andrew (Scott) thanks for your input. Incisive as always. I had a WIndows7 machine. With ColdFusion 9 Enterprise. That's my dev environment at the moment. I upgraded windows to WIn10 Home and Apache didnt work. That's where this whole thread started. And I havent found a way out of it yet, apart from moving CF up to CF11. As it turns out, ColdFusion 9 might run on any version of windows, but however its bloody well not running on my WIndows10 Home machine. It wont even run the installer. I have 4 machines to deal with. The machine I'm working on at present is the one i rarely use, but having any of the others out of action for more than a day would be a big problem. So i need to figure out what my strategy is going to be before I even start on those ones. -- Cheers Mike Kear -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "cfaussie" group.
