ColdFusion 2016 Support Windows 2016 Server

- ADOBE STAFF PLEASE ANSWER ASAP  -

When will ColdFusion 2016 Support Windows 2016 Server?

The problem seams limited to just the installer because sadly the product installs and works just fine on Windows 10.

I have a $60,000.00 major production system upgrade ON-HOLD over this because our IT policies REFUSE us to install an older operating system for new deployments where the need for the windows server will outlast the life of the OS. We have had to put the vendor ON-HOLD and management is wanting answers.

CF2016 does not support Windows 2016 Server yet.

Clearly... but since you all do not make this CLEAR it was unknown at purchase. How does a user navigate to this page to KNOW... BEFORE purchase?

Also your team needs to know that I had 10 and a chat support staff had to transfer me to like 9 different agents just to get to purchase the product - WHY ARE YOU GUYS NOT SUPPORTING THIS PROPERLY AND FULLY???

It's been HELL to buy and HELL to own!!

I would give them an email - cf.install@adobe.com

There are some work arounds as well, as CF Express works, so it seems like a installer issue.

Was not aware of that email - thanks Ill give it a shot.

I also tried your trick

C:\ColdFusion_2016_WWEJ_win64.exe LAX_VM "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_121\bin\java.exe"

(for me) and I get this error

haxtbh Just so you know I finally got it installed with ERRORS by choosing the built in webserver.

Then I tried to manually run C:\ColdFusion2016\cfusion\runtime\bin>wsconfig.exe to add it to IIS manually and I get this

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: C:\ColdFusion2016\config\wsconfig\cfwin32.dll: Can't find dependent libraries

The installer likely did not install the DLL because of the method chosen in the installation process but the fact wsconfig.exe exists seams odd to me. Well not really clearly Adobe does things HALFED-ASSED

I have NO clue how you got this installed on your side but clearly this is definitively  MORE than just an INSTALLER ISSUE.


What were the errors in the log?

Do you have the latest visual c++ redistributable installed?
