• If the \cfmx_updater directory exists and contains the directory \cfmx_updater_02, Updater 2 is installed.
• If the \cfmx_updater directory exists and contains the directory \cfmx_updater_03, Updater 3 is installed.
• If the \cfmx_updater directory exists and contains the directory \cfmx_61, ColdFusion MX 6.1 is installed (as an updater).
• If the \cumulative_hotfix_bkup directory exists, ColdFusion MX 6.1 Updater is installed.
• If the \lib\updates directory exists, ColdFusion MX 7 is installed.

cfinfo (CFMX 6.1 and above; Server configuration only)

1. Open a command prompt window.
2. Change to the ColdFusion bin directory, typically at \CFusionMX\bin on Windows or /opt/coldfusionmx /bin on Unix.
3. Type one of the commands below:
   cfinfo -info (Windows) or ./cfinfo -info (Unix)
