We have ColdFusion 8 running on Windows 2003 and JVM 1.6 Build 17 and they work without any issues. We are trying to upgrade to Windows 2008 R2 and when we point ColdFusion 8 to the 64 bit JVM 1.6_17, we get this error in ColdFusion out logs.

Error loading: C:/ColdFusion8/runtime/jre\bin\server\jvm.dll

We figured out msvcr71.dll has been missing and copied it to the C:\ColdFusion8\runtime\bin directory, but nothing seems to be changing.

In the Windows event viewer I can see this message The ColdFusion 8 Application Server service terminated with service-specific error The system cannot find the file specified..

It looks that JVM.DLL has some more dependencies dlls, which are missing on the file system. How can we get the dependencies the jvm.dll has been looking for? Or can we know which specified file its not able to find?

    Are you running ColdFusion 8 Update 1? I believe that was the first version to support 64 bit JVM. Since you are upgrading OS versions why not upgrade ColdFusion as well? I realize that ColdFusion 10 is very different from ColdFusion 8 but ColdFusion 9 is very similar. You should at least upgrade to ColdFusion 9 (in my opinion). – Miguel-F Mar 15 '13 at 14:11
  • Also, are you installing the 64 bit version of ColdFusion 8 Update 1? – Miguel-F Mar 15 '13 at 14:37

    Just to be sure, does that DLL actually exist? You may need to use the JDK if you're using the JRE. – Busches Mar 15 '13 at 15:50

I was having the exact same issue. I installed the 64 bit version of Microsoft Visual C++ redistributional version 2010. ColdFusion started fine after that.
