ColdFusion Builder 2016 Will Not Start

[jwgerald]

Hello All,

I recently purchased the ColdFusion Builder 2016 upgrade from CF Builder 2 to 2016.

I have tried three time to install this application and each time it goes through the entire install and the log file show Successful for everything.

Two Issues:

1. When installing I enter my new Serial (CFB 2016) and it works but when I add Previous Serial (CFB 2) it does not accept it. I then choose to use the trial version which runs to completion without error.

2. When I attempt to start it the icon appears on my task bar for about 2 seconds then disappears.

Note:

I am running on Windows 10 Pro Version 1607 Build:14393.479

I am running Java 64 Bit: Java 8 Update 111 (64-Bit)

I am running ColdFusion Server 2016 (developer edition)

I have CFB 2 Installed on this same PC (I think required for upgrade)

I have spent hours searching various blogs, forums, etc and have tried everything that seemed somewhat logical but in the end it will not run.

On the other hand CFB 2 runs perfectly.

I want to thank you (anyone) for the help you might be able to give me regarding these two issues.

Good Day...

John

Having same issue after first system restart following installation.  Icon appears only briefly in task bar and application never starts.  Running Windows 10 64bit.  These issues make my team want to move on from CF.  Please help as we are in the middle of a large project at the moment.

Re-installing CFBuilder fixed the problem for me.

I am having this same issue. Has there been an update to what might be causing this problem?

Thanks.

Did you ever find a solution to this problem? I was forced to move on to Visual Studio Code IDE for my CF projects.

This resolved my issue. Deleting the workspace folder I think is the key.
