What was Adobe thinking

Tags: Coldfusion

I have to ask Adobe one question, what the hell are you thinking by releasing Coldfusion 8 with no Windows 64bit support?

64bit OS have been around for years now, and this is a kick in the pants for developers who run 64bit development machines.

I reported this as a bug to Adobe in January 2007, and I am appalled that the release version is not supported on 64bit machines.

I seriously hope they patch this within the next month or so, until then that is another nail in their coffin.

  • TJ Downes's Gravatar There was no 64bit JVM available for Windows until a couple of weeks before CF8 was released.

  • Andrew Scott's Gravatar That's not the point, i am running the 32 bit version of the JVM for eclipse and other projects that are written in Java, like tomcat.

    Adobe do not support the install on a 64bit OS, nor did they bother to try to make it supported. 64Bit JVM or 32bit JVM, I would have been happy with a 32bit JVM as long as it installed.
