Installing Cumulative Hot Fix 2

The installation instructions for ColdFusion MX 7.0.1 Cumulative Hot Fix 2 say, "Note: Any individual hot fixes previously installed that are now contained in this cumulative hot fix should be removed."

Since I previously installed the MX 7.0.1 Cumulative Hot Fix 1, does that mean that I have to remove it before I install Cumulative Hot Fix 2, since they contain some of the same hotfixes? If so, what is the procedure for removing it?

    Hi,
    You really do not have to worry about previous cumulative hotfixes as coldfusion server does not load them into jvm. It only loads the latest cumulative hotfix. Article recommends you to remove individual hotfixes as coldfusion does not check for each hotfix in the cumulative hotfixes.

    If you really want to remove the previous cumulative hotfix, go to Coldfusion-home/lib/updates (standalone install) and delete chf7010001.jar. For J2EE install of coldfusion, go to Cfusion-ear/cfusion-war/WEB-INF/cfusion/lib/updates directory and delete the chf7010001.jar. You will have to restart coldfusion server after making the change.

    Thanks,
    Swathi.

    How do I remove the old individual jars? When I try to delete them, I get an error saying the file is in use.

    You need to stop CF first.
