ColdFusion 7 on Windows Server 2008?

[AndrewClarke]

(my apologies if this gets double-posted.)

Is it possible to run ColdFusion 7 on Windows Server 2008?

I successfully have ColdFusion 8 running on a Windows 2008 box, but  
haven't been able to get ColdFusion 7 running.  Before I waste any  
more time, I figured I'd ask if it's even possible, and if so, if  
anyone has any pointers.

I've turned on the following role settings for IIS:

ISAPI Extensions
ISAPI Filters
IIS 6 Management Compatibility
ASP.NET
.NET Extensibility
Security: Basic Authentication
Security: Windows Authentication
Performance: Dynamic Content Compression
Management Tools: IIS Management Scripts and Tools
Management Tools: Management Service

I've installed ColdFusion 7 as administrator, and when all is done I  
get the following error in IIS:

HTTP Error 404.3 - Not Found
The page you are requesting cannot be served because of the extension  
configuration. If the page is a script, add a handler. If the file  
should be downloaded, add a MIME map.

I then ran the ColdFusion web server connector (again as  
administrator) and saw that the connector wasn't installed.  I  
installed the connector, but when I tried to save the change I got an  
error that said something like "version 7 is installed.  Supported  
versions are 5.x, 6.x".  Strange.

If anyone has a resolution or an idea, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks,
- Andrew.

I suggest you use the CF 8 web server configuration utility, rather
than the CF 7 one. You'll need to copy wsconfig.jar from your CF 8
install.

Thanks for the idea.  I did copy runtime/lib/wsconfig.jar over and got  
the following error when I tried to use it:

The JRun server(s) found on host 127.0.0.1 must be upgraded to use  
this version of the Web Server Configuration tool.

I also got the same error when I tried the CF8 version of runtime/bin/
wsconfig.exe with the CF8 version of wsconfig.jar.

When I tried the CF8 wsconfig.exe with the CF7 wsconfig.jar, I got the  
same error as originally.  At this point it occurred to me that they  
are referring to IIS version 7 being installed, not ColdFusion version  
7.  I do have the IIS 6 compatibility tools installed.

If anyone has any more ideas on this, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks again,
0 Andrew.

It sounds like this is going to be more trouble than it's worth. Is
there a specific reason why you have to either (a) use IIS or (b) use
CF 7 instead of CF 8?
