Yes -- in regards to using over existing install to update. The link just
threw me off stating .. Try Adobe ColdFusion Builder 2 Update
1<http://www.adobe.com/go/trycoldfusionbuilder>
-- and then takes me to a different page which is more "trial" looking.
vs:  Update for Windows®
<http://download.macromedia.com/pub/coldfusion_builder/updates/1/ColdFusionBuilder1_Update1_WWEJ_win.exe>(EXE,
70MB)  (like for the previous updater).

After calling in, and not getting a clear answer caused more confusion..
I'm at an office that is crippled a bit on bandwidth, so I hesitated before
committing to download the 399mb.  I'll snag from home later. Thanks for
clarifying.
