Upgrading 7.02 to 8.01

I have 7.02 installed and I have a new 8.0 license, but I downloaded the new trial 8.01 full version and I'm trying to upgrade 7.02 directly to 8.01 without having to go to 8.0 then apply an updater. Will the full 8.01 upgrade my current configuration?

Thanks,
Steve

    I am currently running the multi-server installation of 7.02. I ran the installer and the web configuration tool, but I don't see any CF8 services, only CF7, and when I access CFAdmin it shows version 7. I suspect the problem is something to do with the JRUN installation.

    Yes. After you run the installer itself, your first call to the ColdFusion 8 administrator will run the configuration wizard which can import your 702 settings.

    You probably want to install CF801 using only the internal coldfusion web server. Alternatively, install to a different virtual website on your real web server. You need to segregate CF8 and CFMX7 so both can run. Test your application before fully cutting over to CF8.
