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-10-7) is the following:
Failed to copy hotfix
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. So far, so good. When we go to the updates page
for automatic updates for the latest current hotfix 7 (at the time of
This is a common issue reported on the Adobe ColdFusion forums. The
only solution I have found to work reliably for me (and I'm on the same
OS and web server) is to make sure that the service account ColdFusion
is running under is a member of the local Administrators group. You may

And yet I believe that would go against the lockdown guides... So our options

Steven,
I guess I should have added that once the updates are installed, remove
the service account from Administrators. And this solution is only a
workaround, mind you. I don't believe this **should** be necessary, but

I've followed the lockdown guides, including
I am not sure I follow. The ColdFusion 10 Application Server service is set
to Log on with the local system account. I tried changing this to log on as my
own login account, which is a member of the local administrators. I still was
not able to logon.

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

installed (assuming they

If you are getting the being used by another permission then it is related,
you will need to make sure ColdFusion is stopped and wait a bit.
To make sure check the Windows Service and wait until it has stopped before

Jeff, the fact that you are getting the file is in use tells you that the
ColdFusion Windows Service is still running. This means that you may have
