    They have different versions of IIS, and those versions of IIS are configured differently. You'll need to install the IIS 6 Compatibility functionality as part of IIS, and there are some other gotchas as well. Also, you might run into some issues with 32-bit vs 64-bit OSs, if you install a 64-bit version of Windows - you'll need to configure the IIS application pool to support 32-bit applications.

    Other than that, no.

    Hello,

    According to Adobe CF7 supported platforms CF7 only supported up to Win03 and IIS6. Having said that it is possible to make it work on Win08, you may do well to update the JVM from the one  7.0.2 installs.
