The download links include the following:

VS Code Update
VSIX file to update VS Code to support CF Next'

However, that download does not contain any file of type VSJX.

Does the developer have to undertake further steps to obtain a VSIX file? If so, please explain, adding the necessary steps.

@BKBK Please download the .ZIP and rename the extension to .VSIX.

Launch the VS Code and Install it from extension.

Select this VSIX file and it will install the extension.
Please let me know if you have any problems.

Thanks, Priyank Shrivastava

Does anyone know how we update the beta when updates come out? do they show up as updates (likely not) are we alerted when new builds come out? do we have to re-install the new build?

@rickmaz We will share the update when the next update will be available. We usually share the refreshed build for Beta's next release.

Thanks, Priyank Shrivastava

Hi Team,

I am getting an error while installing CFNext using GUI Installer (Win64). Attached is the error.

As a workaround installation completed after running the url again -http://127.0.0.1:8501/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm

btw not able to log a bug on the site as well.

DastekSoftwares, thank you for pointing this out. It seems like a cloud setting from your previous version is causing the issue. Kindly log a bug for this and attach the Cloud neo XML files located in the CF's lib. This will help us investigate the issue further.

Hi Adobe Team,

It is 2nd December 2024 today. You have been trying to stimulate interest in the launch of the new ColdFusion 2025 Beta. Yet you let stale information to remain for days on the ColdFusion Prerelease websites:

"Join the ColdFusion 2025 Beta Today!"
(on this website since 29th November 2024)
"Please stay tuned for the impending launch of the open beta (drop 1) on December 1st, 2024."
(on the prerelease website since 29th November 2024)

This is all stale information. Yet those are precisely the websites that are supposed to generate enthusiasm for the new product.

The issues I pointed out in my previous posts are still unresolved. Though the Beta program, announced to start on December 1, is still "impending", you have said nothing about the delay.

Do you realize just how bad the marketing is that you are creating here for ColdFusion?
