How can upgrade from coldfusion x32 to x64 on windows x64?

Hi,

I have a stack coldfusion2016 x32 + apache24  x64 on windows 2008 x64 server ...

If I execute the installer coldfusion2016 x64, it will upgrade automatically the coldfusion2016 x32 version

to coldfusion2016 x64 version, preserving x32 version settings ?

mayb a silly question but ...

thanks

Mauro

    I would not do that because 32-bit ColdFusion and 64-bit ColdFusion are two distinct software programs. What I would do is:

    1) Go to the Packaging & Deployment page in the ColdFusion Administrator and create a ColdFusion archive file. Include in it all the settings you will need to import in the 64.bit installation.

    2) Uninstall the 32-bit ColdFusion 2016 installation.

    3) Restart Windows.

    4) Install the 64-bit ColdFusion 2016 installation, importing the settings that you saved in the archive file.

    In any case, I would suggest you move to a newer version of Windows.

    It will probably work just fine, but who knows what might go wrong? So instead, use the option to export settings first to a CAR file, then import them back in if you have problems after the upgrade.
