CF 9.0 Upgrade to CF 9.0.2

We currently have three ColdFusion servers running version 9.0 and I need to upgrade them to 9.0.2.  Adobe proves a 9.0.1 updater but I haven't been able to find one for 9.0.2.  I tried using the 9.0.2 installer to upgrade but the option for a "Server configuration" install type does not seem to be available.  On a clean install, option #1 (below) is available but is missing when I run the installer on our servers with CF 9.0 already installed.  How can I upgrade our servers?  Do I really have to back up the neo*.xml files and uninstall first, then perform a clean install?  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

What kind of installation do you want?

  ->1- Server configuration

    2- Enterprise Multiserver configuration
    3- J2EE configuration (EAR file)
    4- J2EE configuration (WAR file)

    There is no 9.0.2 update, per se.  CF 9.0.2 is a complete install rather than an incremental update.  The main reason for this was the removal of the Verity search engine (due to expiration of license agreement between Adobe and Verity).  Adobe also installed all the cumulative updates and hotfixes up to the point in time when the 9.0.2 installers were built.

    You therefore have two options:

    1. Install the 9.0.1 updater and all subsequent updates/hotfixes, or
    2. Do a clean install of 9.0.2 and subsequent updates/hotfixes (there will be fewer of those).

    If you decide to do option 2, yes you should back up your neo*.xml files and uninstall CF 9.0 then do the clean install.
