Hi,

CF2016 does not list Windows 2016 in it's support matrix. Will CF2016 be supported on Windows 2016?

I note when I try install CF2016 on Windows 2016 it fails:

where Details button offers:

I see from blog post CF2016 installer for Windows 2016 coming in April so not long now.

http://blogs.coldfusion.com/post.cfm/windows-2016-support

I see CF2016 installer is supported on Windows 2016 now:

So apparently Adobe has removed the download link for Coldfusion 2016 with the updated installer since Coldfusion 2018 has now been released. On this page Adobe - ColdFusion Support Center : More Downloads where it used to be the 2016 download link now goes to a form to try the 2018 version.

I have the 2016 (with the original installer) and need to move it to a new server running Windows 2016. Does anyone know where I can download the version of CF2016 that has the installer for Windows 2016?

Thank you! I need to get this set up ASAP and Adobe likes to make things difficult for the few loyal CF developers that are left.

You're right, the link to download CF2016 has been changed. How bizarre. Why direct people to download 2018 from the 2016 link?

Adobe need to get that link back up because 2016 is still a supported product and while they're at it they should patch it to the latest update. I've got a copy I downloaded in March. Not sure of the easiest way to share that?

If that's the one with the updated installer that works on Windows 2016 and you could put it up somewhere like Dropbox and send me a link, I would greatly appreciate it!

It is possible to install ColdFusion 2016 and have it WORK with windows 2016, however its not a clean path.

Install Windows 2012R2 with Desktop Experience

Install Apache for Windows

Install ColdFusion 2016 - linking Apache for Windows to ColdFusion

Upgrade Windows 2012R2 to Windows 2016 with Desktop Experience

Adobe: Can you at least provide an ETA on support for CF Builder 2016 on Windows Server 2016?

Even a ballpark guess would be nice. Is it a month out, a quarter, a year? Give us something to go on.

The fact this is not supported is just another reason to STOP supporting Adobe!! We just upgraded from 10 to 2016. Took 4 hours to just to buy the upgrade ALONE. This was because their store only had upgrades for 11 to 2016 or the full license. Literally 9 chat transfers later someone had to make the purchase for me to access the hidden SKU. The point is it was HELL just buying the product, and now we can't even use it. If ADOBE can't even code an e-commerce store properly, it's clear they can't make/integrate an installer worth a damn. Finding the above-mentioned document on the Adobe website where it states this is not available as an excuse, is not even realistically available or clear on how to find unless you're here (AFTER THE FACT and already more pissed off than when you began). Now our entire upgrade is HOSED. I have to downgrade my OS just to upgrade Adobe ColdFusion (Bull$h!t) - Adobe you are ridiculous and lackadaisical - just quit already, clearly this is a product you don't care about.

I hope those reading this STOP supporting ADOBE and force them to quit ColdFusion and go with the free open source RAILO, BlueDragon and other alternatives - at least the developers there GET IT #HateAdobeArrogance. Wish I could get a refund and go Open-Source today!

Hi Carl,

ColdFusion 2016 is not supported on Windows Server 2016. It might be supported in the next release. Please refer the support matrix below:

Hi,

Fair enough Windows 2016 is not on support matrix. I realised that is the case and stated so when I initially posted.

CF11 does not list Windows 2016 on it's support matrix yet installs OK.

Question regarding - It might be supported in the next release. Would that be?

- release of refreshed CF2016 installer

- release of updater 3 or 4 patch level

- release of entirely new version CF (CF2018 or whatever the name would be)

Kind Regards, Carl.

Interestingly on Windows 2016 CF2016 Express Edition seems to function well.

- starts ok via cfstart

- WSCONFIG binds to IIS ok

- CFM pages published under IIS work

- applies update 3 ok

So perhaps just a refreshed CF2016 installer is needed?

Regards, Carl.

@Carl Type3, @FirmButtstone

The Coldfusion 2016 Support Matrix already tells you beforehand that Windows 2016 is not supported. That means you will likely get an error if you attempt to install Coldfusion 2016 on Windows 2016. What puzzles me is why you then expect otherwise.

With CF2016 release in February 2016, Windows 2016 Technical Preview 4 was available for checking or testing. I was hoping since Windows server 2016 had a long technical preview program Adobe CF team would have had a chance to trial CF2016.

CF2016 does offer IIS 10 support which is the webserver role version on Windows 2016.

Having the same issue. Things I've tried with no luck, changing the compatibility to win7/8 and installing various versions of java (tips other people have used for various software packages with the same error).

The error seems to be an issue with InstallAnywhere.

One more thing to check, every time the install fails it leaves a huge amount of data in your AppData\Local\Temp folder. Might want to clear that up, it is over a gig each time you run it.

Some information to add. Oddly enough CF11 installs and WSCONFIG binds to IIS10 ok. Although running CFadmin page on IIS10 is a long way from exhaustive compatibility testing.

Unfortunately even though CF11 managed to install Microsoft Visual C ++ redistributable, CF2016 still fails to run with same error as posted earlier.
