Running Unofficial Updater 2

Unofficial Updater 2 can only be run against Adobe ColdFusion 8.0.1 or 9.0.1. Once you download Unofficial-Updater2.jar from https://github.com/dcepler/unofficial-updater2/downloads 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.
