I'm looking to upgrade the built in fckeditor 2.x to 3.x, but I can't find its home.  Also, is this wise or is it best to place a different copy elsewhere and use it as the resource?

Found the location.  Awhile back I wasn't aware of fckeditor being installed by default inside the CFIDE directory structure.  As part of the migration from CF8 to 9 I performed many directory structure cleanup efforts.  One of them was to consolidate resources including one single location of, now CKEditor, fckeditor.  In the turmoil of changes I moved /CFIDE/scripts thinking that it was not a default directory placed there during installation.

I've corrected that deficiency and restored /CFIDE/scripts contents from another installed instance of CF9 64bit.  Another lesson learned and desire to move the CFIDE directory outside the site root.  If that is not advised please let me know.

The answer then if anyone is looking is that fckeditor is found in /CFIDE/scripts/ajax/FCKeditor/
