Problem Description:
Manually installing CF2016u8 and CF 11 u16 in windows fails if your user is not a local admin (even if you have full admin rights through a domain user/group). This has not been the case in previous updates.
See: [https://coldfusion.adobe.com/2019/02/coldfusion-2018-release-update-2-coldfusion-2016-release-update-8-coldfusion-11-update-16-released/#comment-28931]
Steps to Reproduce:
- Download update .jar.
- Run powershell as an administrator
- Run the update .jar using the JRE in the coldfusion install
- Hit next, agree to terms
- Fails, cites permission issues.
Actual Result:
Update is not installed despite user having full admin rights, saying:
"The user account should have read/write privileges to the files in the ColdFusion root directory and should have privileges to start and stop ColdFusion services."
I confirmed that my user can do all of the above.
Installer logs show no errors, just a bunch of successes followed by:
"INSTALLATION WAS CANCELLED BY USER DURING PRE-INSTALLATION"
Expected Result:
I expect the update to install given I have full admin rights.
Any Workarounds:
Assigning the user to the local administrator group.Attachments:
