@Scott Have you installed the latest version of Java on your machine? If so, make Sure that your .class file is in your library; you can check by navigating folders jdk1.X—>lib—> or else you have to set class path; set class path in your cmd prompt:

C:\> set classpath=%classpath%; C:\jdk1.6\lib; for windows

I am running Vista Business with the latest Windows updates installed, and I am unable to install ColdFusion 8. When I launch the Coldfusion-8-win.exe downloaded from Adobe, I incur a fatal application error: “java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class javax.swing.UIManager”

If you’re running Apache and ColdFusion Developer edition and developing multiple projects you definitely want to look at using the Multi-server installation of CF. That way you get a shiny clean instance of CF for each project with no bleed over.
