How to upgrade Coldfusion 9.0.0 to 9.0.2
Do I first need to upgrade to 9.0.1 and then to 9.0.2 or can I go directly from 9.0.0 to 9.0.2? Or is 9.0.2 a fresh install?
Thanks,
Dave

Hi Dave, The topic of 9.0.2 can be kind of confusing it takes some background to explain, Charlie Arehart wrote up a good overview about it here: http://www.carehart.org/blog/client/index.cfm/2013/8/19/understanding_ColdFusion_9.0.2_a_FAQ
9.0.2 is a fresh install, it is not really meant to be an upgrade from 9.0.0 or 9.0.1. 9.0.2 was created becuase Adobe stopped licensing the Verity Search engine, so in order to have a download for 9.0.x on their site they needed to do this.
If you are currently running 9.0.0 and do not need Verity, then you might find it easiest to install a fresh 9.0.2, but if you want to just upgrade what you have, then I would just install 9.0.1, then Cumulative Hotfix 4 (CHF4), then the additional security patches not included in CHF4. If you install 9.0.2 there will also be security hotfixes to install, and a Cumulitive Hotfix.
