Currently unable to download the 64 bit windows installer from the Downloads page for Lucee 6.2.8.20. We need to upgrade urgently owing to a critical vulnerability identified, please could someone advise or resolve the issue? Image of the error attached
Noel, while you await someone fixing that, you do have alternatives, such as installing the previous 6.2.8 installer and then updating that instead.
Note the “all releases” link below that release. That page has prior releases, including 6.2.8.18 which had a Windows installer. Once installed, you could then update that within the Lucee admin, for instance.
Let us know how it goes. And hopefully someone will address the broken installer link.
(I’m curious myself why the Windows installer is “below the fold” under “other downloads”, on that page you pointed to, while it’s the first installer offered for each release on that other page I pointed to.)
Hi,
We did consider doing the upgrade directly in the Lucee Server Admin, however this is a service that we have inherited as a team with a SOP for upgrading the service which doesn’t use the Server Admin to upgrade, instead using a fresh installer for each version. We also do not have a Dev environment to test out the upgrade process in the Lucee Server Admin, so without knowing what it’s doing it’s risky to do so in a Live instance. Hence we’ve opted to wait until the Windows installer download is fixed.
Thanks for explaining your stance. FWIW, I did say there were “alternatives”. I was starting with the simpleat solution first. Same with updating: I’d mentioned the admin as one way, adding “for instance”.
So to be clear, another way is to get the LCO file offered there and implement that, as discussed here and elsewhere.
But I get it, you may still say “we just want an updated installer”. I’m just tying to help how I can. I’m not involved in creating the installers. Let’s hope someone on the team sees this.

I am currently running 6.2.8.20 , so it’s recommended to downgrade it?
Can that be done via the Lucee dashboard? I don’t seem to be able to find any option.
Thanks
Mark, I’m curious why you’ve asked this. Nothing in the thread has suggested downgrading.
Instead, note that the issue was that Noel observed that the Windows installer for 6.2.8.20 was unavailable for him to download…and no one has solved that yet.
My mention of 6.2.8.18 was merely because that installer DOES exist, then he could update it. But he just wants the installer, which is understandable.
I hope someone on the Lucee team will acknowledge and take responsibility for the problem. If there’s a better way Noel should have reported the issue, let him/us know.
Hi Charlie, My bad, no idea how, but I read it wrong, I had read it that there was a critical vulnerability in issue in 6.2.8.20 when that was not the case at all, Noelosuji was actually looking to upgrade to it.
I need to get more sleep! 
Thanks for following up.
Understandable, thx.
