ColdFusion Builder installation frustration

Ok, so on October 5th I downloaded and installed the Beta 2 plugin of ColdFusion Builder so I wouldn't have to deal with the timeout when it hit.

Well, it hit anyway. Even though I had upgraded, it still threw the timeout message. Thinking that maybe I had done something wrong during the installation, I followed the uninstall instructions and installed it again.

Now, there is no ColdFusion perspective at all. Grrr.... Very frustrating Adobe. I REALLY don't want to start with a fresh eclipse install. It takes forever to set up all those plugins.

  1. I just spent my morning reinstalling Eclipse, CFBuilder, and a few plugins.

    I was using the standalone before. What were you using?

  2. You are not alone. I spent a couple of hours trying to get get CF Builder updated before I finally hosed Eclipse and had to start with a fresh installation. (I run Flex Builder 4 Beta 2 in the same Eclipse installation.)

  3. I wound up doing the same thing and I was also running Flex Builder. Maybe that has something to do with the installer problems.

  5. The issue is with doing an install *without* doing the un-install first.

    The .bat file for un-install gets updated with beta2 scripts.

    So, for this to really work you needs to first execute the beta1 version of uninstall_cfbuilder.bat.

  6. I did the uninstall process first and it still failed. Maybe the installer should check to see what needs to be done before trashing your eclipse build?
