Upgrading Coldfusion 9.0.0 to 9.0.1 with HotFix 2

Instructions from Adobe are not clear or simply wrong sometimes.
Here is actual steps I took:
Environment: Windows XP, CF 9.0.0 Server Installation, IIS

  • Update Coldfusion from 9.0.0 to 9.0.1
  • Apply Cumulative Hot Fix 2 | Coldfusion 9.0.1 (http://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/kb/cumulative-hot-fix-2-coldfusion-1.html)
    • Download and extract files:
    • Go to your {ColdFusion-Home}/lib directory and make a backup of lib folder (I just copy and paste the folder in the same place)
    • Apply update JAR file
      • In the ColdFusion Administrator, select System Information page by clicking the "i" icon in the upper-right corner. 
      • In the Update File text box, browse and select chf9010002.jar located under CF901/lib/updates directory. 
      • Click Submit Changes. 
    • Stop ColdFusion instance. 
    • Update CFIDE
      • Go to {CFIDE-HOME} and make a backup of CFIDE folder (I just copy and paste the folder in the same place)
      • Go to extracted CFIDE folder (typically CFIDE-901\CFIDE), copy all files into current CFIDE folder and overwrite existing files
    • Update WEB-INF
      • Go to {ColdFusion-Home}/wwwroot/WEB-INF directory and make a backup of WEB-INF folder (I just copy and paste the folder in the same place)
      • Go to extracted WEB-INF folder (typically CF901\CF901\WEB-INF\WEB-INF), copy all file into the current WEB-INF folder and overwrite existing files
    • Update lib folder (it's already backed up at the begining)
      • Go to extract lib folder (typically CF901\CF901\lib), copy all files (exclude the "updates" folder) into the current lib folder and overwrite existing files
    • Start Coldfusion instance
To Uninstall: 
  • Stop Coldfusion
  • Delete CFIDE, WEB-INF and lib folders, rename the copied folders back to their original name
  • Start Coldfusion
