Do the 8.0.1. update??

[rcoleman]

After a considerable amount of work, we FINALLY got a mixed installation running successfully; i.e. 64-bit Windows 2003 server running 32-bit IIS in emulation mode with CF8 running OK * AND * .NET applications running (3.5) in 32-bit mode. It is FINALLY working.

So, now the 8.0.1 update comes out. This means that I probably need to:

* uninstall CF8 32-bit
* turn off 32-bit IIS emulation
* reinstall the .NET runtimes for 64-bit
* recomnpile all the .NET installations

Etc. etc.

I am wondering whether I should just leave it as-is and not worry about the update? It looks like if I do not do the update now, then I may not be able to do future updates?

On the other hand, this server is pre-production and just about to be launched. If I need to do it, I should do it now.

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

"I have ColdFusion 8 installed today on a 64-bit Operating System. Can I just run the Update to upgrade it to ColdFusion 64-bit?

No. You will need to completely uninstall ColdFusion and use the full ColdFusion 8.0.1 installer. Please read the ColdFusion 8 Update Install Guide for details. "

Does IIS need to be in 64-bit mode prior to beginning the install?
