CF2021 silent install of multiple instances

[mattInVail]

We are moving to a DevOps model to increase consistency and reliability accross environments. As part of this we are moving to CF2021 (Windows). The silent install seemed like a big step in the right direction, but I can't find any documentation on installing and configuring multiple instances from the cmd line. If anyone has any documentation on how to script this, it would be a huge help.

It would also be great if some of the official documentation would include some commands to go with each step that they manually describe. The manual approach lends itsself to mistakes. For example when they talk about enabling features, they could easily include some commands and save us all some time. Here is the cmd script for the features that we need for CF on IIS. Hope it helps someone.

Good point, @mattInVail . The installation instructions for ColdFusion 2021 contain just a bare-bones section on silent installation.

It would be of great help to ColdFusion developers if Adobe could elaborate, in one document, all the steps involved in installation and configuration using the command-line. You should make a feature request.
