Randy, It is possible, but it takes a bit of extra work. In order to get the installer itself to run, you have to right click on it and select 'Run as Administrator'. Then, once the installer does run, you will have JVM issues as the JVM that comes with Vista is newer than what CFMX 7 can handle. So, you will need to install JVM 1.4.2 and reconfigure CFMX to look there. In order to get the service and ISAPI mappings working, there are a couple of command line scripts you will have to run, again using the lower JVM version.
I had an article in one of the last editions of CFDJ that talked about running CFMX 7 and CFMX 8 side by side and most of it applies for Vista as that is what I am running on as well.
