I went through the CF2021 update 2 today and indeed found it convoluted. First, the automated updater in CF Admin didn't work (it never works, in my experience, but I gave it a shot anyway). I run the CF service under a different user account, perhaps that's why the automated updater never works for me. It was unable to stop the CF service and properly apply the update. The update log showed files/folders unable to be moved/deleted, yada yada. So back to the old tried and true update from the command line... The technote mentions : "Update "packagesurl" in cfusion/lib/neo_updates.xml of cfusion and all its child instances to point to <InstallerReposityUnzippedPath>/bundles/bundlesdependency.json present inside the downloaded folder" I did not understand the point of updating the neo_updates.xml since it seems to tell the CF admin *automated* installer where to find packages, but since we're doing manual updates, what's the point of that? I skipped that step. Once I manually got the coldfusion service terminated, I ran the JAR from the command line and everything seems to have updated ok. Then, updated the connector just in case. Does CF 2021 update 2 require an additional patch for the Query of Queries bug that CF 2018 update 12 has?
