On Windows 2008 and 2008 R2, when running the ColdFusion 9.0.1 updater it will fail to complete successfully. Each time failing with the same message in the install log (The Adobe_ColdFusion_9.0.1_InstallLog.log is not written to until the upgrade installer is closed. As long as it is still open, it has not written to the log file. The default location of the log file is C:\ColdFusion9.):

Rename the dll while ColdFusion is stopped and retry the Upgrade. It should complete successfully this try. On a side note, I find it supremely easier to run the upgrade AS SOON AS you complete the installation of ColdFusion 9 if at all possible, otherwise, just install 9.0.1 (I think there is an actual installer for that version). There is a ColdFusion® 9.0 Update 2 package which seems to be a better choice as of current. Thanks goes to CFExecute for a bulk of this post.
