Hi,

I administrate a few ColdFusion 2023 servers on windows.  I must perform an off-line update whenever a new update comes out.  I carry out these steps:

1) Download new hotfix and packages from Adobe Website

2) copy these files into the Bundles directory of ColdFusion

3) run the java -java hotfix_xxxx.jar

4) the installation states it was successful but everytime there are packages that are missing and not installed.  These new packages files were definitely included in the bundles directory, but they were deleted during the update process

5) My fix everytime is top re-copy these files back into the Bundles and install the packages manaually.  

Do anyone know how i can perform the update, without needing to re-copy certain package files back into the Bundles to complete the process?

Thanks for any help you maybe able to provide! 🙂

The package removals happens during the first cf startup after the update. You’ll see it in the coldfusion-out.log.

The problem is that the package install (updates) are what fails for you. That leaves them uninstalled.

As for why the install of the package updates fail during startup, again see that log.

Let us know what you find. It may well help identify a missing step in your process.
