In the 2021 U7 Tech Note / KB, it states "Note: If you've created a mapping of the cf_scripts folder, you must copy the contents of the downloaded zip into CF_SCRIPTS/scrips/ajax folder to download the ajax package." - please help me understand this. By "mapping" does this mean a ColdFusion mapping? I've never seen this before, so it makes me wonder if it is meant for virtual directories and aliases in the web server. If so, "cf_scripts" is automatically created as a vdir/alias when the connector is added. What "downloaded zip" is the document referring to? The manual install only has a .jar file, and I am not seeing anything obvious in there to extract. REF: https://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/kb/coldfusion-2021-update-7.html

Chris, on the cf_scripts mapping issue you're certainly right to question things, and I'd raised that (and your next point) in my blog post on the update today . I pointed out further that it's not only confusing about the CF2023 and CF2021 update technotes from today (since both have no mention of a zip--which is its own issue) , but I also found today that the same confusing verbiage is in the update technotes for CF2021 update 2-6. I don't recall seeing it before, but could have missed it. My take is that it's trying to talk to people who might somehow have copied their cf_scripts folder to somewhere OUTSIDE of the cfusion/wwwroot, but that's no longer recommended at all (nor necessary, specifically BECAUSE the wsconfig tool creates that virtual directory/alias).

This verbage appears to have been removed from the tech note: https://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/kb/coldfusion-2021-update-7.html
