ColdFusion 8.01 on Mac OS X 64-bit

[AndrewClarke]

Has anyone successfully installed the 64-bit version of ColdFusion 8?   I just ran the installer on my Mac Pro and got this:

The installer has found the following errors/warnings:

Error: Unsupported Platform:
This installer will only run on 64 bit mac-intel. PPC and 32 bit mac-intel are not supported.  If this is a 64 bit mac-intel, make sure 64 bit JDK is the default JVM.
Close this installer and restart installation using a 32 bit installer.

OK so I went into Application/Utilities/Java/Java Preferences.app and tried both 64-bit versions of Java.  This didn't make any difference to the installer.  Right now "java -version" gives me this:

java version "1.6.0_07"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_07-b06-153)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 1.6.0_07-b06-57, mixed mode)

What am I doing wrong?  How can I force the installer to use a specific version of th JVM?  Is that the problem?

Thanks a lot,
- Andrew.

Yes, I'm running it all the time on my Mac Book Pro.

I'm not sure what problem your having.  When I did my install  
everything was default and it just installed without problems.  Maybe  
I got lucky.

Thanks for the response.  After further reading, it seems that it's  
the latest Java Update from Apple (Update 2) has broken the ColdFusion  
installer.  Installing ColdFusion before the update works; installing  
after the update doesn't.

Others have had success (ref: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?p=6464874 
  ) installing ColdFusion by wiping & reinstalling Leopard, then  
applying the Java update afterwards.  I'd rather not do that as I'm  
less than a week into this Mac Pro as it is and don't really want to  
start all over again.  Heck I haven't even finished my Time Machine  
backup yet.

Hi,
Can you set which version of java you are using in leopard? I have a  
script that you are welcome to, that I use on my powerbook.
This might be less work than re installing.

Hi again.  I switched versions using the GUI tool in Applications/
Utilities as mentioned below.  I verified that I was using the two  
different 64-bit versions listed by checking the Java version from the  
command line.  I imagine this tool does the same thing as switching  
all the symlinks around but is a little easier.  If there's something  
else I could try then yes I'm certainly game.

Thanks again,
- Andrew.

I ran into this too and simply decided to use the 32-bit CF8 installer
instead since it's just a dev laptop and it doesn't matter whether
it's 32- or 64-bit.

There's an article on Adobe forums which gives details of a workaround.

A collegue tried it and CF8 then installed ok...
