CF 8 Upgrade

Up until now I had not come across any bugs in CF8 which would force me to upgrade to CF8.0.1, but I did earlier this week.

The bug was in onMissingMethod and came to light when I installed Bob Silverberg's ValidateThis! framework.

I'm running Windows XP and unfortunately my attempt to upgrade to CF8.0.1 failed and I had to do an uninstall and reinstall. The Uninstall also failed which then led me down the horrible route to registry editing. I always feel a little sick when doing things with regedit as its a bit like doing brain surgury in the mirror. One false move and you're dead!

Anyway its all over now and the ValidateThis! demo runs on my desktop machine. I am trying some new ideas in the scaffolding which will build validate this into one of the template sets.

Out of curiosity, at the time you attempted the upgrade, were you running a Java version greater than 1.5_13? I had some problems installing CF 8.0.1 on a fresh Mac OS X and it boiled down to the current Java version was not accepted by the installer.
