Error installing Coldfusion 10 Update 21

Hello,

I am running into difficulty installing the latest hotfix 21 on my developer edition CF. I haven't had issues before with installing hotfixes.

I am installing using the Windows command line as the CF Admin method has never worked (can't download the fixes due to our network issues)

The 3 fatal errors in the log file:

  1. ERROR - Could not move the file C:\{CFPATH}\lib\updates\{filename}.details to the backup location C:\{CFPATH}\hf-updates\hf-10-00021\backup\lib\updates\{filename}.details
  2. ERROR - Could not move the file C:\{CFPATH}\lib\updates\{filename}.notes to the backup location C:\{CFPATH}\hf-updates\hf-10-00021\backup\lib\updates\{filename}.notes
  3. ERROR - Could not move the file C:\{CFPATH}\lib\updates\{filename}.hotfix_021.jar to the backup location C:\{CFPATH}\hf-updates\hf-10-00021\backup\lib\updates\{filename}.hotfix_021.jar

I am running the Windows command line as Administrator. So I don't believe it's a permission issue. Especially since other files are written to those locations during the install (C:\{CFPATH}\hf-updates\hf-10-00021\backup\...).

OS is Windows 7

During the attempt at installing the hotfix, I see the *.details and *.notes files being written in the C:\{CFPATH}\lib\updates folder. They are deleted at the end of the process.

Any ideas why?

Thank you.

Had similar issue with update 20. Here area few things Adobe told me to do.

  1. Make sure that you open the Command Prompt with Run as Administrator. You need the right permissions.
  2. They asked me to run the update with the version of JAVA that the ColdFusion server is/was using. Seems that the Java version I had for the operating system was not the same version as the one referenced in ColdFusion server. So, I ended up running the command as: "C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_101\bin\java.exe" -jar "c:\{name of JAR file}.jar"

I was already running as Administrator, however I never tried your second suggestion, which worked.

Thanks to you and WolfShade for your assistance!

I've never had luck using a command prompt (run as admin) to apply hotfixes and updates.  If you download the hotfix .jar file, place it in a special folder, and edit the .xml file to point to that location, you can run it within CFAdmin with no issues.  And, since CFAdmin knows where everything is, the updates (from my perspective) run much smoother.  The last time I used a command line, I hosed the installation, and had to copy then rename folders to paste the updates in where they should have gone in the first place.  Painful.

HTH,

Thank you. Is that the updates.xml file in the hf-updates directory?

Yup, that's the one.  Edit it so that it will point to the .jar file that you downloaded, log on to CFAdmin and search for updates.  Badda-bing, badda-boom, and voila. 

V/r,
