ColdFusion 10 Update 4 Installation Incomplete?

Question

I'm testing the Update 4 on my local development machine (Windows 7 Pro 64-bit). I've downloaded and installed the updater. It never restarts ColdFusion when it's done. It tells me it will, and to check back in a few minutes, but even after half an hour it hasn't. So I manually restarted the ColdFusion service. When I log back into CF Administrator, it shows that Update 4 is still available to be installed (and the orange star is lit at the top of the screen). If I go to the System Information page, it lists the update level at:

/C:/ColdFusion10/cfusion/lib/updates/chf10000004.jar

and the version at: 10,0,2,283281

I did run the WSConfig tool to remove and reapply the IIS connectors. Is there anything else I should be doing?

UPDATE: I ran the updater a second time, again had to manually restart ColdFusion after waiting 30 minutes for it to restart itself, and still the CF Administrator reports that the update is available for installation.

OK. After a couple more retries, and examining the logs for the hotfix installation, I decided to add the Domain user account ColdFusion runs under to the local Administrators group. Reran the install, and everything worked fine.

I don't think I ran into this with the previous updates, and the ColdFusion account has never before been in the Administrators group, so I don't know what changed with Updater 4. But at least it's working.

But this is troubling from a security standpoint - I don't want my ColdFusion service account to have Administrator permissions on my local machine (or on my production server, which uses the same Domain user account).

Any ideas?

Thanks,
