well, i tried all kind of manual registration into IIS7 but it does not work.

one of my problems why not upgrading to CF7 was the forcing into UTF8 which gives me compatability problems in Hebrew with current apps.

I wish this UTF-8 was optional..

i would have thought finally having unicode support would have made you happy?

it can be. if you run your own server, find the neo-runtime.xml, change the
defaultCharset value from utf-8 to whatever you need (that is a java supported
charset). stop/restart the cf server service.

None of the current versions of ColdFusion have been certified under Vista/IIS7 nor would they be supported . ColdFusion 8, due out later this year, is targeted to.

I would hope so, and also supporting 64 bit since 64 bit architecture, especially in servers, is much more robust and without 64 bit support CF could see even more reductions since I won't be allowing any of our 64 bit servers to run 32 bit extensions in the future. We maintain one 32 bit 2003 server now simply for CF, but all our other servers are running 64 bit OS and IIS.

Considering 64 bit has been aviable and built for over 2 years now, I am really disappointed MM/Adobe never updated their software to support it.

all you can do is try, but I know that CF (no version) works properly out of the box on Longhorn Server, which is the server version of Vista ... it's because IIS 7 is totally different from previous versions and doesn't register it properly.

I think the chances of it actually running (the server portion) on Vista is pretty slim, although I have not yet tried it with the new Personal Home Server for Vista.
