![]() The are also NOT offered if you instead look BELOW that form on that aforementioned page.Instead, filling out that form (today, Oct 17) will offer you instead the installer that was "refreshed" in Sept 2021, which included update 2 that was released at that time (and the installer included Java 11.0.11 also). This page is pointed to from the top right of the Adobe ColdFusion product page, and it's also pointed to from that "downloads" page discussed above. They are NOT offered by your filling in the form where one can get the ColdFusion Trial or Developer edition.They are NOT (for now) listed in the typical places one might look: So as I noted above, you'd be forgiven for not KNOWING there were refreshed installers, but you'd also be forgiven for not FINDING them, even if you were to go looking for them. Where you will NOT find the refreshed installers, for now It usually POINTS people to the first of the more common places people might expect to find CF installers, as I discuss in the next section. In fact, I don't know that I'd ever seen them offered on that page before. That's not normally where we would expect to find them. Where you can find the refreshed installers, for nowĪs I noted above in the TLDR above, the refreshed installers are available for now in only one place, in the " Adobe ColdFusion (2021 release) Product Downloads" section of the "ColdFusion downloads" page. (FWIW, the original installer from 2020 included of course NO updates and strangely includes Java 11.0.1, which was already very old then.) That includes update 2 (also released that day) as well as Java 11.0.11. Of course there's the original one (which was in Nov 2020 for CF2021), and then sometimes they may "refresh" the installers, which they last did for CF2021 in Sept 2021. Bad news for those still using CF2018: while there was indeed the update 15 released also last week, Adobe has NOT offered such a refreshed installer for CF2018 and likely will not.Īnd for any seeing this who may wonder, while Adobe offers "updates" for CF 2-3 times a year (for each of the two current versions they support, currently CF2021 and CF2018), they build a new "installer" far less frequently.The most odd news: again, the refreshed installers are only available for download from one place currently, the CF "downloads" page.Some odd news: Adobe didn't mention the availability of this refreshed installer in the CF2021 update 5 technote, nor their blog post or forum post announcing update 5.Not good news: the installer implements only Java 11.0.11, while the version available as of the release of update 5 last week was 11.0.16.1, from July 2022.Good news: these "refreshed" installers includes update 5, so if you are installing CF2021 newly on a machine, that would be easier than getting an older installer and updating it. ![]() Not good news: there are not new "zip" installers, at least for now.Good news: there is a new full installer for CF2021, for each of Windows, MacOS, Linux, and Solaris.TLDR: these new "refreshed" CF2021 installers are (for now) available only here: here.Īs for information ABOUT the refreshed installers, here's the news in brief (the good and the not so good): And I'm glad to share the news, though it's a good news/bad news sort of thing (just like with the update itself. ![]() Here's some surprising news: Adobe has released a "refreshed" installer for CF2021, which includes update 5 (which came out last week) built-in.ĭid you know about this? You'd be forgiven if you had not heard, for reasons I will explain. Now, back to what the original post was about. You just need to know where to find them.ġ) First, if you are the person who BOUGHT CF, then you should have an account at either or, and you can find the installers you paid for there.Ģ) If instead you either DID NOT buy CF (perhaps using the free trial edition), or someone ELSE bought it (maybe you don't know who it is), or you just can't get into that account, note that there is an online repository of old (and new) installers at, which is managed by trusted community members, including myself. Does that mean you're stuck and CANNOT get the installers, perhaps that "you paid for"? No, it does NOT mean that. To be clear, once Adobe comes out with a new version, they no remove the installers of the old version from the public pages of their site. This post is from Oct 2022, about new installers offered then, while CF2021 was still the latest version. Update since original posting: If you find this post in 2023 or beyond and are looking for the CF2021 installers, please read this update before proceeding. ![]()
