Can Cold Fusion 9 or 10 be successfully installed on Windows 8?

I have a fresh install of Windows 8 with IIS 8. There are no other applications. When I install Cold Fusion 9 or Cold Fusion 10 (with admin rights), I get the same error:

This Application has Unexpectedly Quit Invocation of this Java Application has caused an Invocation TargetException. this application will now exit. (LAX)

I've reinstalled Windows 8 several times. One time I installed Java with the latest CF Eclipse with no problems. The JVM runs nicely in Win 8.

Hi,

Win8 is not supported with CF9 and CF10.

Reference: http://wwwimages.adobe.com/www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/products/coldfusion/pdfs/cf10/coldfusion10-support-matrix.pdf

Haivng said that, LAX errors are generally related to the registry issues. So, can you please try running the Windows Installer Clean Up utility--> and then re-starting the server to observe the behavior? {can't commit on CF 9/CF10 successfull installation}.

HTH.

Rg,

Thank you, spsb84, for your reply.

I'm afraid the application doesn't get far in the install. Specifically, the InstallAnywhere progress bar comes up, almost finishes a first pass, then I get the application exception. I'm trying to install ColdFusion_9_WWEJ_win64.exe, but the ColdFusion_10_WWEJ_win64.exe install executable does the very same thing. CF does not appear as an installed product in the Windows Installer Clean Up, so I can't clean it up. There is no CF directory on the C: drive either, and no files are unpacked.

As an interesting side note, I installed CF9 on Win 7 (base install), then I did an OS upgrade to Win8, and CF9 works great! I just can't installCF9 or 10 onto Win8 (only onto Windows 7). The CF server/JRUN works as expected on Win 8 after the upgrade. I took this desperate measure because I have outstanding client jobs to complete. I know, it's crazy to develop on a release preview, but someday soon folks will wanna develop on Win 8 and IIS 8. It's a great OS and CF should install here, imho. (:

Do you, or anyone, know if I can run the CF install in debug mode? Windows even logs show nothing...

Hello,

I was able to get CF10 up and running on Server 2012 by placing the installer's JRE folder.  I'm willing to bet the same works for Windows 8

Maybe give it a try?  I outlined my steps in a blog post at http://thefusionator.com/index.cfm?blogID=2
