CFMyths: "If/when I apply Cumulative Hotfixes, I need apply only the latest CHF, right?"
Note: This blog post is from 2010. Some content may be outdated--though not necessarily. Same with links and subsequent comments from myself or others. Corrections are welcome, in the comments. And I may revise the content as necessary.This is the second post in my planned CFMyths series. In the first, I addressed the myth that "When I download CF to install it from scratch, it has the latest fixes/updaters".
Here's the next, related, myth:
True or False: "If/when I apply Cumulative Hotfixes, I need apply only the latest CHF, right?"
For instance, let's say you're currently running CF 9 update 1 or CF 8.0.1 and discover (perhaps due to my last blog entry) that you had never applied any of their associated CHFs. It would seem you should just be able to apply the latest CHF and not bother with anything related to the previous ones, right?
Answer: Well, yes and no.
