Cold Fusion 2021 update 20 - sqlserver package fails to install

[Chris Ashdown]

I have updated my ColdFusion2021 installation from update 19 to update 20. Everything looked OK during installation but I see the following error in the logs when I try and install the sqlserver package:

An error has occurred while installing the package sqlserver. Exception : Illegal character in opaque part at index 2: D:\ColdFusion2021\bundles\repo/bcpkix-jdk15on-153.jar

It looks like the bcpkix-jdk15on-153.jar is missing from the update 20 repo.

I copied the file from an update 19 installation and was then able to load the sqlserver package. 

Anyone else seen this issue or can try replicating to see if it is unique to my installation.

What happens when you implement the following step? It has been known to fix various issues that occur during installation of updates.

• Delete everything from the directory {CFINSTANCE}/bin/felix-cache and then restart ColdFusion.

Unfortunately deleting everything from the felix-cache did not fix the issue

Did you restart ColdFusion afterwards?

Suggestion ( inspired by a recent thread in this forum )

1. Open the Command Prompt (cmd) as Administrator;
2. Use the DOS cd command to navigate to  {CFINSTANCE}/cfusion/bin;
3. Type cfpm and press ENTER. You should get ColdFusion's package manager prompt cfpm;
4. Run the command uninstall sqlserever and wait for the command to finish running;
5.  Run the command install sqlserever and wait for the command to finish running;
6.  Delete everything from the directory {CFINSTANCE}/bin/felix-cache;
7.  Restart ColdFusion.
