I upgraded to Vista and almost immediately needed to run ColdFusion pages. I didn't find much on the internet that explained ColdFusion server installation and configuration on a Vista box and indeed, ran into some sticky problems when I tried to use the install program (since it was intended for IIS6).

When I finally got all my ducks lined up and had the ColdFusion server running smoothly with Vista and IIS7, I figured I better write about it since I'll never be able to remember all the steps ... there are missing DLLs, a confusing little Vista bug, and new mappings to be defined in IIS7.

Check out my free article, which takes you step by step through the process, explaining all the little gotchas along that way that you'll need to deal with.
