1. Re: Can CF5 be installed on Windows 7 Prof. Platform in a Windows XP Prof. Virtual Machine?
You have a lot of things going on here. But yes, you can run CF 5 from a Windows XP VM. You should be able to test this within your VM using a browser instead of CF Studio. Once you've confirmed that CF 5 is working correctly from a browser, then you need to configure CF Studio, which basically needs to know the physical file path that corresponds with your CF site's root URL.

whenYou don't need the virtual machine; you can run CFStudio natively under Windows 7 64bit. The trick is installing it. *If* you have the standard CD installation archive, you kick off setip.exe, it'll complain about the version of windows. If you look in the Setup.ini file, however, you'll see that setp.exe is just calleing demo32.exe anyway - right click in demo32, and set the compatibility to Win XP, then run it as administrator - select 'Install ColdFusion Studio' from the menu, and make sure you install it to the program files(x86) dir (if you're on 64 bit windows), and it'll run fine after installation.
ColdFusion Studio is still (2014) the best IDE for CF development, IMHO. Just keep up with the vtml language updates, and it's fantastic - CF still supports the CFIDE connectivity, and all the tools are there. I use Eclipse for a few things, and MSVS for a lot of dotNET stuff, but CFStudio is still a staple on my dev boxes.
