ColdFusin 2021 Update 2 causes all installed packages to be lost

I have installed ColdFusion 2021 Update 2 throught the admin UI on two systems now. One development and one testing. In both cases, after installing the update I was greeted with the following message...

 

After reinstalling the administrator UI as sugguested by the message, I login and can see that none of the other packages I had previously installed were still installed. I then had to manually install each of the packages again.

 

These systems were built using the 32-bit zip installer on Windows Server 2019. The server was installed into C:\ColdFusion and the instance is C:\ColdFusion\cfusion. Once installed, the packages were all installed using the cfpm.bat file and restoring the contents of an export taken previously. The settings were then all restored using the cfsetup.bat file. Maybe something with the install location of C:\ColdFusion or me using the cfsetup.bat or cfpm.bat to configure the systems originally cause the update to do it?

 

In any case. After the packages that were blowed away were re-added, all the settings appear to be fine.

 

Any insight would be helpful. Thanks.

      I noticed that, too, when I installed Update 2. I presumed that that is the intention. In a modular architecture, a fresh re-installation might cope with interconnectedness and complexity better than an update of individual modules.

       

      In any case, you would expect the ColdFusion Team to document this. It could cause unnecessary alarm.

        Yeah, I would expect to see this documented in the release notes for the update. Because it is not there, I consider it a bug.

         

        Applying Update 1 did NOT remove the administrator or adminapi. So, personally, I think someone dropped the ball with testing/QA on this update.

          I had the same issue, all packages were uninstalled after installing Update 2. Also, I had to deploy the update from the command line because the update did not show up in the Admin UI. I hope someone from Adobe reads this and responds!
