Using Unofficial Updater 2
Unofficial Updater 2 can only be run against Adobe ColdFusion 8.0.1, 9.0.0, 9.0.1, or 9.0.2. Once you download Unofficial-Updater2.jar from http://www.uu-2.info/ on most systems you can just double click the file and it will start. If you get a tools.jar missing error, you need to run it via the command line. The installer will default to the appropriate install type either GUI or text based.
ColdFusion Server/process/instance should not be running when you use Unofficial Updater 2.
UU2 creates a jar after using initially called Unofficial-Updater2-with-downloads.jar. You can use this instead of the Unofficial-Updater2.jar thus making sure the same patches are applied across servers and environments. Plus you don't need an internet connection for the Unofficial-Updater2-with-downloads.jar.
