Solution

You use the ColdFusion 8 Administrator to install cumulative hot fixes. The installation process is the same for all platforms and installation choices.

Download chf8000002.zip (106K) and extract the chf8000002.jar file.
Open the ColdFusion 8 Administrator and select the System Information page.
Next to the Update File field, select the Browse button and browse to the extracted file. Select the file and click Submit.
Restart ColdFusion.

The ColdFusion 8.0 cumulative hot fix JAR file does not need to be retained after installing it with the ColdFusion Administrator. The file has been copied into the correct location.

The ColdFusion 8.0 cumulative hot fix JAR file will appear as a new entry in the System Information list.

Note: Any individual hot fixes previously installed that are now contained in this cumulative hot fix should be removed. Chf8000001.jar, if installed, should also be removed.
