Installation on Windows 2008 Server/IIS7

We have 2 ColdFusion applications running on a Windows 2000/IIS 5 Server, with ColdFusion MX Server 6.0. We need to deploy our intranet web apps on a Windows 2008 (32-bit)/IIS7 platform.  We no longer do any ColdFusion development work, but we need to continue to serve our ColdFusion applications. The MX 6.0 installation CD does not work on our new server.  What product do we need to install so that this server can host our ColdFusion apps? Thanks.

    If you've only got an MX6 CD then I assume you'll need to buy a new version anyway?

    In which case just go for CF9, which is the latest version (and only available version for that matter) - you'll almost certainly need to do some tweaking to get everything working in your code, but it shouldn't be too bad.

    Thank you. O.  We'll go with version 9. Since we don't need the development environment I was hoping there was a less expensive alternative -- ie., just a web server piece -- but that doesn't appear to be the case.
