That's exactly what I was suggesting you do. After you set the ColdFusion service to run as your account, did you stop and restart the service? That is necessary for the Administrator permissions to be granted to the ColdFusion service. Then, after the updates are installed (assuming they do install successfully), switch the service back to the local system account and stop/restart it again.
Since you are running as local service, is this your local development machine or your production server? Just curious. -Carl V. On 2/7/2013 2:40 PM, Jeff Carpenter wrote: > I am not sure I follow.
