How to install CF2021 Update 4 using CFPM?

Question

This is always a head scratcher. Is there a way to simply install a server update and any packages that may need to be updated as well? I seem to only be able to do the reverse, update installed packages which may then install a server update.

Sure. You could just install Update 4 using the Java that ColdFusion 2021 is currently running on.

Take my setup, for example. I am on Windows. My base ColdFusion version is CF2021 Update 3, located at C:\ColdFusion2021. It uses JDK 11.0.15, which is located at C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-11.0.15.

The steps to manually install Update 4 are:

Download the ColdFusion 2021 Update 4 JAR file (hotfix-004-330004.jar) to C:\ColdFusion2021\bundles\updateinstallers\ .
Open the command-prompt CMD as administrator. Run the command: cd C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-11.0.15\bin.
At the prompt, run the command: java.exe -jar C:\ColdFusion2021\bundles\updateinstallers\hotfix-004-330004.jar
