COM Object support in 64-bit - Vague and Unclear

Dear Adobe Coldfusion, your technote/FAQ on Colfdusion 64-bit says : no support for COM INTEROPERABILITY - http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/403/kb403277.html#_Toc193176418
Can you please elaborate on that in relation to Coldfusion 64-bit?
Does this mean 32-bit COM won't work in 64-bit CF?
Does this mean 64-bit COM will work in 64-bit CF?
Does this mean wrappers around these 32-bit COM objects won't work?
Under what circumstances will <cfobject type="COM"> work in 64-bit applications and why doesn't your coldfusion 9 developer's guide have any mention or elaboration on this for developers who actually READ your documentation?
Don't you think people would need to know, from reading your documentation when working with COM objects, that information like "Coldfusion COM interoperability not supported in 64-bit version" IS IMPORTANT?
Also, a lot of times these COM objects are 3rd party components which the CF programmer did not code themselves, and just have the COM object interfaces to play with - why would you go and assume we would know what COM INTEROPERABILITY covers, and not provide any further elaboration?
Lastly, if elaboration on this is available somewhere in adobe.com, please point me in the right direction.

Well... IF one is willing to pay for it (or be lucky enough to work in a large organization that is willing to pay for it). With a support contract.... it is when not if. The when depends on the level of the contract one chooses to aquire, but in our case we will have interaction with Adobe ColdFusion support personnel with-in one business day.
But I recognize that this is not really an option for a large group of smaller and|or independant ColdFusion users.

Creating a COM object with CF9 32-bit on Windows Server 2008 R2 64-bit machine

I'm using a 32-bit version of CF9 and it's installed on a Windows Server 2008 R2 machine (64-bit). The problem I'm running into is that it won't allow me to create a COM object - it gives me the error, "no ntvinv in java.library.path null" when I try to run,
<cftry>
<cfobject type="COM" action="CONNECT" name="Engine" class="JRO.JetEngine">
<cfcatch type="Any">
<cfobject type="COM" action="CREATE" name="Engine" class="JRO.JetEngine">
</cfcatch>
</cftry>
Then when I run it a 2nd time, I get "An exception occurred when instantiating a COM object. The cause of this exception was that: java.lang.RuntimeException: Can not use native code: Initialisation failed."
Can you help me?

General COM object considerations

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/ColdFusion/9.0/Developing/WSc3ff6d0ea77859461172e0811cbec14713 -7fef.html

Note that ColdFusion does not support calling COM objects in CF 64-bit editions. For more, see http://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/kb/coldfusion-limitations-running-coldfusion-64.html.

Problem instantiating COM+ object

Hi,
I'm trying to instantiate a com+ object using
<cfobject> and I'm getting:
An exception occurred when instantiating a Com object
The cause of this exception was that: AutomationException:
0x80070002
The com object is built in c# .net and implements the
iDispatch interface. We're running mx 7, and using the following
syntax to instantiate the object:
<cfobject type = "com" action = "create" class =
"COMService" name = "myCOMService" context = "local" />
Can anyone suggest any pointers?
Thanks,

Turns out it was a problem with the COM+ component. Googling
the specific error code 0x80070002 helped to uncover the
problem.

BUG! Not system locale Filenames support for 32-bit applications error in Windows 8.1 x64 and other microssoft x64 OS-s.

BUG! Not system locale Filenames support for 32-bit applications error in Windows 8.1 x64.
All Windows x64 (XP,2003,2007,Vista,7,8) have no support for not system locale filenames|foldernames for all 32-bit applications. I think it is BUG!
For example, it is possible to read files|folders with French or Chinese in English locale windows installed, rename it, but it is not possible open it, edit or delete. (ERRORS: File not found OR Unknown format)
With using 64-bit programs no such problems. How does it works and how can I fix this? Is it problem with encoding in translating kernel instructions for 32-bit apps in x64 Windows OS's? Whether there are
solutions to this problem OR some hacks|fixes?

Hi,
Have you installed the language package for French or Chinese?
If no, please download the language package and install them.

Unix: Any support for creating com objects?

I'm looking into migrating a CF 8 server from Windows to
Unix. I see in the documentation for CreateObject that com objects
are not supported on Unix, "Note: On UNIX, this function does not
support COM objects."
Obviously, this won't work on Unix: Note:
<cfset image = CreateObject( 'com', 'ImageStoreCom.Image'
)>
But what about this, can I create a remote com object?:

<cfset image = CreateObject( 'com',
'ImageStoreCom.Image', 'remote', '172.0.0.1' )
Finally, if the example above is out of the question, are
then any techniques for exposing a com object to CF on a Unix box?
I'm wondering if maybe I could write a Java wrapper for the com
object and expose it that way?
Thanks for your help,
DJ

<ShotInTheDark>You might try wrapping your COM object
in a .NET class then accessing your .NET class
remotely.</ShotInTheDark>

Arch Linux 32x64 bits, Developers and Window Managers Support

Greetings!
After having some time issues due to college that prevented me from this, I wish to have again a rolling-release distro in my computer.
I was in the past a big fan of Gentoo, but now it seems too much work to compile everything from scratch. Also they seemed to have some issues with the developers - the original developer if I understood correctly has quit the project, others were forced to quit due to misbehavior, etc. - and maybe due to some other facts their popularity on distrowatch dropped drastically.
Then this year I've tried Debian Testing... My goodness, that was messy. Tons and tons of bugs on XFCE, like thunar hanging on load and displaying error messages, gedit not removing the ~lock files properly on close, so I had the myfile and ~myfile, and many others. Really, I gave up.
I wish to give Arch Linux I try then. Of course that would be quite stupid to ask if arch linux is the best choice in an arch linux forum, but there are some key points that if you could answer would help me a lot to give it a try:
1. 32x64
"Should I use 32-bit or 64-bit?" is NOT the intended question. Many still prefer 32-bit-pae on a 64-bit capable machine, others prefer 64-bit. I wish to use 64-bit. Made my mind. But I would like to know if the support of 64-bit on Arch Linux is as good as 32-bit and if it comes by default with cross-libs which makes me able to run 32-bit applications natively right out of the box,
2. Developers
About how many and what's their relation with the users? When I've googled for Arch Linux, I've had found a review video on youtube where some guy said in the comments that developer's mind changed a lot in the past 2 years and they introduced many buggy packages that required manual workaround. At the end of his comments, he said "Sympathy? Apologies for the ****? Nope. blame the user for trusting 'pacman -Syu'" Surely I don't know which are these options because I haven't read about pacman yet (just know it's the default package manager) but you get the idea.
Another key question: Is Arch Linux hiring new developers over the time? Replacing the ones that leaves for the many reasons?
3. Window Managers Support
With Gnome3's overall rejection (including mine), we have only two options: Switch to KDE or try other Window Managers. I still wish to have faith on gtk, so the first option is still not considered by me. I don't wish to know "which one is the best", because that's another large discussion just as the 32-bit x 64-bit. Just how good is Arch's support (updated constantly? bug-fixes?) on:
- XFCE
- MATE
- Cinnamon
(Of course there are others like LXDE, Enlightenment, etc. but I've decided to narrow down to XFCE even having quite bad experiences on Debian Testing.)
4. Package Manager
Last, being a rolling-release dist, can I add an option for a specific package to install a specific older version and/or not upgrade when you tell the dist. to upgrade everything? I remember that back on Gentoo I could edit a text file and just type the version of the package I wished to keep and the "update everything" option wouldn't touch the package (worked also to try new versions that were still not stable enough).
Any replies will be very appreciated. Sorry for the long post.
Best regards.

I'll start at the end with #4. Of course on the arch forums you will get people who are biased towards liking arch - but I think if you ask in other communities you will regularly hear that arch's package management system is its greatest strength. Pacman is the primary tool for this, but we also have makepkg for things in the Arch User Repository (AUR), and the Arch Build System (ABS) to recompile anything from the main repos with additional/alternate compilation options.
But for your direct question, there is an option to only upgrade to a particular version of a given package. There is an option in pacman's configuration file for just this purpose. However depending on what the package is, this could lead to problems. Users are discouraged from updating most of their system while keeping some older packages - This can lead to issues with shared dependencies. Of course if you build the package from source (AUR or ABS) yourself, such issues would be easy to resolve. Is there a certain package you know you'd want to keep at an older version? If you tell us what it is, we can give more specific information on how easy/hard it would be to accomplish.
#3: Arch is a DIY distro. You choose whatever window manager / DE you want. I can vouche for XFCE working wonderfully in arch. There are also numerous archers who use mate and cinnamon. I have heard of some problems, but (AFAIK) these have nothing to do with compatibility with arch, rather these are due to upstream issues. In other words, cinnamon, mate, xfce, or any other WM should work just as well on arch as on any other distro. I'd bet our wiki for installing and configuring those WMs are better than those of the distros that bundle the WM with the core install. (In addition to package management, you will find the arch wiki is second to none).
#2: I can't answer with any specifics - other than to say they continue to do an excellent job. I am not surprised by the youtube video - not because I'd agree with it, quite the opposite. But as arch is a DIY distro it puts some responsibility on the user to maintain their own system. If one is not prepared for nor willing to do this, they often become frustrated and end up blaming someone else. Often this is the developers, sometimes it is the forum moderators, other times it is the whole arch community. In every case these accusations are absurd. Your questions on replacement of developers is a good question though - there is a history page on the wiki which might give some insight on this, but I suspect others will have better input on this.
#1: I use i686 (32bit) on two of my computers and it works perfectly. It sounds, however, that a majority of the community uses 64bit (which I just updated to on one of my computers). My 64bit system works perfectly as well, but I don't have any 32bit-only apps. Occasionally there are forum threads about some issue or another with "multilib" applications which are 32bit programs run in a 64bit system. Generally these threads seem to be resolved without much hassle. You can search for some of them yourself: Skype seems to be a common topic of such issues.
All in all, I'd reiterate arch's strengths in it's package management and wiki/documentation. Potential weaknesses could be found by users who are unwilling or unable to take responsibility for their own system. I word this is a bit biased manner - there are many people who have no interest in being responsible for maintaining their own system, a majority of all computer users would fall into this category; most of them would be quite unhappy with arch linux. If you were happy with gentoo in the past and only want to avoid constant recompiling then you probably would be one who could be very happy with arch.
Or an even shorter summary: try it out. If you don't like it, switch.

Java and COM Object out parameters

I have a COM object written in C++ that can't be modified. It has several methods with output parameters.
Can java create an instance of the COM object and pass a reference to a Variant in this case or any objects to be filled by the COM object? My output parameter keeps coming back null, but I know that the COM object is working.
Bill

You didn't say anything about how you are bridging java <-> COM.
If it's via JNI, one way you could deal with this is to write a "wrapper" dll that can speak COM, but which can turn the output data into something more palatable to java - say an object that the wrapper can return.

Cfobject - An exception occurred when instantiating a COM object

I'm getting the following error:
An exception occurred when instantiating a COM object.
The cause of this exception was that: java.lang.RuntimeException: Can not use native code: Initialisation failed.
1 :
2 : <cfscript>
3 :     oLoader = CreateObject("com", "easyPDF.Loader.6");
4 : </cfscript>
This is on a dedicated server with 64bit Windows Server 8 and 64bit ColdFusion 9. easyPDF is a program that will convert files into PDF on the server, it is also the 64 bit version.
I'm not even trying to do anything but load the object and am getting the error. I took a peek inside the registry and searched for "easyPDF.Loader" and it was found.
Any ideas what could be going wrong? Is there something I need to do with the CF setup or IIS to get this working? It gives the same error with the following line of code as well.
<cftry>
    <cfobject type="com" action="connect" class="Word.application" name="this.wordCom" context="local">
    <cfcatch>
        <cfobject type="com" action="create" class="Word.application" name="this.wordCom" context="local">
    </cfcatch>
</cftry>
Any help or guidance would be great. Is there a basic <cfobject type="com"> that should work on ANY computer without installing something that I could use to test?
Thanks!

Just to give everyone some closure in this matter:
I've opened a case with Adobe Support. Their reply was:
COM interoperability with CF9 is not supported on 64 bit Windows OS. This is due to the limitations imposed by JIntergra. You can find a reference for this in the following tech-note:http://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/kb/coldfusion-limitations-running-coldfusion-64.html
It seems that J-Integra (http://j-integra.intrinsyc.com/support/kb/article.aspx?id=30963) won't update their code libraries for 64-bit support due to lack of customer demand for this functionality. Mind you this is the newest technot I could find on the matter but it was last update in 2010. I've also emailed j-Integra sales (http://j-integra.intrinsyc.com/contact.asp) to inquire about any progress in porting over their libraries to 64-bit. Who knows, if they get enough requests...
I will now try to access my COM libraries from a .NET dll and call it using cfexecute.

COM Object gets Message stating it cannot access the server.

I support an Application that would call Outlook to send an e-mail, it uses a COM object to do so, I have a client that has Exchange 2013 and Outlook 2010, trying to send an SMS to a Cell phone, in the form of [PHONE_NUMBER]@vtext.com (Verizon SMS), gets
a message stating that the server cannot be reached (Retry/Work Offline / Cancel), If I select Retry, nothing happens, if I select Work Offline, it will take it to OUTBOX but will not send it, unless outlook is closed and then re-opened. However, if I add
a CC email address, the CC'd email will be sent right away once the message is put on the outbox, but the original phone_number email will stay in the outbox.
Haven't seen that specific behavior before.
Any light would be greatly appreciated.

Sending an Email/SMS is a small feature that was added to the application to make it easier for our clients to communicate the Service Calls to the technicians, send Reports, and/or send Invoices/Quotes to their clients.
That being said, the Application was working fine with Previous Outlook Versions up to 2010 (though not quite sure what changes were done by the Patches, it has stopped on some of the 2010 versions (specially on 64-bit environment) Our developers purposely
selected to call the COM object for the user/client to have full control of the communication (client still needs to click the "ALLOW" Button to allow the email to be sent.
Application is not a plug-in (Add-in) to Outlook, but rather a Full "Service Company Suite" with Email capabilities. It was not Written in .NET or VS so using .NET Objects at the moment is not a choice, unless the developers create some soft of connector
plugin to talk to Outlook.
The Link provided really has nothing to do with the issue (the SMS is really sent as a regular Email)

Having a problem with wireless connection. On my Windows XP 32 bit system and a 6510 printer, initi

On my Dell Latitude D620, Windows XP 32 bit system and my 6510 printer wireless connection (Linksys EA4500) , everything works fine after the computer is booted. After a period of time (usually overnight), I lose connection to the printer (the scanner icon with a red x is shown on my Windows task bar and I can't print. Ran Windows Fix and the HP fix programs. The only thing that solves it is to reboot the computer. A second symptom is that my IE8 stops connecting to the internet at the same time (gives a 'waiting for' response that never changes). Firefox still connects OK when this is happening. So I suspect the problem isn't with the printer, but with my Windows set up. It is a fresh XP SP3 install (hard drive crashed, but it happened before also). I reset IE, checked my proxy, no malware, happens with or without firewalls and security programs.
Hoping that someone else has run into this problem. Been all over Google, and the IE doesn't work / Firefox works is fairly common, but none of the fixes helps.

If you want you can reload Firefox 4.0 or the last "old" version is 3.6.16 and is available here:
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
Just reinstall your choice of FF. The bookmarks are in a different directory and are NOT overwritten. Some of the Add-ons that worked in 3.6 DO NOT work with 4.0, pay attention and head any warnings when you start 4.0.
I had to disable extensions: Flashblock and WOT
Firefox SafeMode? - A troubleshooting mode.
1.You can open the Firefox 4.0 SafeMode by holding the Shft key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut to open it again.

iTunes doesn't officially support 64 bit Windows and the 64 bit Gear drivers you need for burning arn't supplied. You can download them from here:

A number of people also had problems with the creation of the CD configuration folder, but as your iTunes is working, I guess that doesn't apply to you.
