Question

Coldfusion 8 Bug or What?

I don't know if this is a bug but am at a loss of words. Installed CF8 or CF7. The installer asked me to remove CF7 post installed.

Removed CF7 from the Server as instructed. Well, the problems is CF8 (CFIDE) folder overwrote the CF7 (CFIDE) folder, as expected.

But when I uninstalled CF7, it removed the CF8 (CFIDE) folder; which was needed. So I am stuck without a CF8 administrator and I really hate to reinstall CF8 just for the (CFIDE) folder. Any suggestions?

Nutshell, if upgrading to 8 from 7, please backup your (CFIDE) folder after you have installed 8. You will need the administrator ADOBE!

i believe it is possible for cfide dir to be overwritten in the iis
webroot if the new cf version is also associated with same iis during
install...

nevertheless, the new cf version's cfide folder should still be in the
default install directory. with cf8 it is C:\ColdFusion8\wwwroot\CFIDE

same goes for cfdocs folder, too...

Hmmm...this just seems odd to me. Did you try to install CF8 into the CF7 folder? The CFIDE folder, in my experience, has always been placed by default into the new CF app folder. I've had different versions of CF running side-by-side and have never seen this behavior. I installed the CF8 beta onto several machines running CF7 and never saw this sort of thing.

If I were you, I'd want to re-install anyway, because clearly the install did not proceed normally (or at least, not as expected).

You can just copy any valid cf8 cfide folder to this server.
