Thanks for your help. We have solved the issue, I will post the solution here if it helps anyone in the future. The error message logged in the hotfix log file (Eg: C:\ColdFusion10\cfusion\hf-updates\hf-10-00007) is the following:
Failed to copy hotfix files:C:\Users\xxx\002873.tmp\dist\cfusion Status: FATAL ERROR Additional Notes: FATAL ERROR - Failed to copy the hotfix files to the target location:C:\ColdFusion10\cfusion FATAL ERROR - C:\ColdFusion10\cfusion\bin\coldfusion.exe (The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process) Several blog posts refer to permission problems, such as making sure the account under which CF10 runs has local admin access, or that the cfusion directory have appropriate permissions. We had tried these solutions, and several variations without luck. We had also stopped all CF services and applied the HF manually but the same error persisted. In our case, we renamed coldfusion.exe notated in the error log above, applied the hotfix, and everything worked. So, I don't believe it was really a permissions issue but rather (as the error log was trying to tell us), that the coldfusion.exe was in use. > We are installing CF10 Enterprise on Windows 2008 RC2 with IIS 7. > We installed using all default selections, straight-forward > installation, and applied the mandatory update.
