Documentation for older versions of ColdFusion

G'day:
Gavin was asking about docs for older versions of ColdFusion today. In my searchings, I've located the docs for a number of older versions of ColdFusion. I'm gonna list 'em here so they're easier to find.

• Cold Fusion 2.0 online documentation, courtesy of GES technologies (update 2015-05-07: link is now dead)
• Cold Fusion 3 online documentation, courtesy of House of Fusion (update 2016-06-30: link is now dead)
• ColdFusion 4.5 online documentation, also courtesy of House of Fusion (update 2016-06-30: link is now dead)
• ColdFusion 4.5.2 offline downloadable documentation, courtesy of Adobe (these are zip files)
• ColdFusion 5.0 offline downloadable documentation (Adobe, zip files)
• CFMX 6.1 offline downloadable documentation (Adobe, zip files)
• CFMX 7 offline downloadable documentation (Adobe, zips)
• ColdFusion 8 online documentation (Adobe livedocs)
• ColdFusion 9 online documentation (help.adobe.com)
• ColdFusion 10 online documentation (the current rendition of Adobe online docs: learn.adobe.com. I wish they'd just stick with the same bloody domain name / online docs structure!!). That site is now dead. But the docs are here: ColdFusion Documentation Archive.
• ColdFusion 11: same page as above, but that's a direct link.

Hopefully that's helpful to someone.

Righto...

More ColdFusion 5... CFML.EXE

G'day.
Do you know what's really cool about CF5? CFML.EXE, which will execute CFML from the command-line, eg:

Here I have run my gdayWorld.cfm directly from the command line, and it outputs the result. Nice. CFML really was quit a nice shell-scripting language back in the day, on Windows environments.


It's such a shame this was taken out of later versions of ColdFusion.

Installing ColdFusion 5 (yeah, that's not a typo) on Windows 7 64-bit

G'day:
This is not exactly what I was intending to do this morning, but - as is often the case - a question on Stackoverflow piqued my interest. In this case, a person needs to get CF5 running on Windows Server 2008 R2, and - seemingly - was having some problems, supposedly with the 64-bitness of their OS.

I have the CF5 installer lying around here somewhere, so I decided to see if I could get it to install on my Windows 7 64-bit laptop. I reckon if it installs on Windows 7, there's a good chance of it installing on on Windows Server too.
