Automatic installation of JRE to run applet

I would like to check if the user(of my website, where I have an applet) have JRE 1.4.1 on the machine. If not I would like to "force" the user (ask him) to start the automatic installation of JRE.
I would like to do this from a JSP page.
Anyone who can help? - need some kind of link to the coorect download site for both IE and Netscape. And also some more information

Why don't you deploy your applet using Java Plugin? It
automatically begins the installation if the JRE is
not available. And all you have to do is specify the
right OBJECT tag on the HTML page.That is what I would like to do (but would prefere to do it from a JSP).
Anyway, which link should I use in the OBJECT and EMBED tag to get the client to automatically start downloading the JRE autoinstaller??

HOw to run Applet in browser.

Hi guys. I've got 2 problems.
1. In Window, I've got Java installed (and using NetBean IDE as Java editor), so of course I've got j2sdk_nb-1.4.2 installed as well. But I couldn't run any applet in IE, for example, in games.yahoo.com, I couldn't join any game because applet always failed to load. But yesterday, I've got a pop up asking to install jre1.4.2 and after install this JRE, everything works fine. My point here is, when I have SDK1.4.2 which contains JRE, why should I have to install new JRE to run applets ?
2. Could anyone tell me how to run applet in Mozilla, Linux. I'm using Linux RedHat 9 as well. And in Redhat, I've got J2sdk_nb-1.4.2 installed with NetBeans IDE. It said that I need appropriate Plugs-in, but in my Java directory, I also found Plugsin directory. So how to configure Mozilla to run applet.
Thanks for reading.

Just to let you guys know that I sorted it out already. Well, the problem lies in I'm confused between two directory /usr/lib/Mozilla and /usr/lib/Mozilla and two Java plugs-in available in nsc60 and nsc60-gcc (don't remember exactly)
For my Linux (Red Hat 9), I've got to create symbol link from nsc60 directory to /usr/lib/Mozilla, not any other way.
Thanks

Make the installer for my executable run the DAqcarddriver and runtime engine installer automatically

*Hi
I would like to know how to make the installer for my executable run the DAqcarddriver and runtime engine installer automatically
I would like to include run time engine and the drivers of my daqcard(AI16XE50),( and maybe Ni daq or anything else needed?) in order to make my application portable for other computers on OS win98 and winXP .
How can I do that
thank you in advance
Olivier

Olivier,
What version of LabVIEW are you using to build your application? On a remote computer you should only need the drivers you are using and the Run-Time Engine. You can attach installers to LabVIEW 8 installers, but for previous versions you will have to add it by opening the installer configuration page, configuring your installer and then configure the Advanced properties. This will allow you to attach a EXE to the installer which you can run. Also depending on the version of LabVIEW will affect the OS version that you will be able to install the RTE on. LabVIEW 7.0 is the last version that can be installed on Windows 98.
Please let me know if you have any further questions and please include the version of LabVIEW you are using. Thanks!

Is it possible to run applet without JRE

hello friends,
Presently I hava developed chating application. Now I want to download my applet on client side and run ther wether client's computer has JRE or not.
so is it possible to run applet on computer which doesnt have JRE?
Thanks in advance

Not unless you create an executable file and jam the whole JRE into it.

Run applets without JRE

Hello to all developers,
I know that to run applets in IE we should have the JRE installed on our machines. But is there any way that we can run applets without the JRE being installed on our machines. I have also heard of something called as the Microsoft JVM. How can we use it to run the java applets.
Thanking in advance.

The Microsoft JVM is extremely outdated and not recommended at all. You can't really run a Java applet without a JVM, and I'm not sure if any but the one Sun makes comes with a browser plugin.

MJB: I cannot get JRE to run in my Ubuntu Hardy installation.

Installation of JRE has been verified. Sites that require JRE say it is not installed but all site tests confirm the installation. A technician in chat says it is installed properly as well but needs to be added to my profile. It was working properly a few days ago but some update changed a setting. I have also attempted to use Chromium as well with the same results. I know this is related to my installation but cannot find a consolidated set of instructions to complete the installation.
I am a new linux user and am still learning. Assistance would be great.

Automatic download/install JRE via JNLP

Under Java Web Start Reference (http://java.sun.com/products/javawebstart/developers.html)
"A MAIN feature of the ... JNLP... is the ability to automatically download and install JREs onto the user's machine".
Many have taken this to mean "if the client doesn't have the necessary JRE it will be installed". Well, if the client doesn't have ANY JRE isn't that the same thing as not having the necessary JRE installed? Apparently not. It appears that it is similar to the old joke: How to be a millionaire: 1) First, get a million dollars. The documentation might be enhanced if this chicken/egg situation were mentioned. It seems that we have to write scripts, etc to either point to a JRE download site or somehow manage the install ourselves. I started to look into this but then realized YOU HAVE TO HAVE ADMIN RIGHTS to install the JRE on the client.
This may all be self-evident to those who have been through this but it's a bitter lesson. If what I have written is not true would someone set me straight and tell me how to get around the admin rights problem? Oh, and does the admin rights problem persist if the the client has a JRE but JNLP needs to download/install a different version? This may be the mortal blow to three months' effort at getting J2EE/J2SE in the door at my company: all we want is to download and run a small Java app for the user to use regardless of which machine he or she is using.

To change the Registry, Windows requires admin rights. This may (or may not be something you can achieve with Secondary Logon Rights - see http://support.microsoft.com/Default.aspx?kbid=225035 ) There is also a lot of information about this on the web, you should do some further research.
To run applets and browser related programs requires that Java install the JRE, which uses Browser Helper Objects (BHO's) and that involves Registry entries.
However, if you only need to run Java programs from the commandline, then the possibility exists to install the Java JDK without a public JRE. That could be done by a simple copy of the appropriate directory(s). This will give you a private JRE inside the JDK, and doesn't make any Registry entries. (Of course, then applets can't be run.) That JRE can then be accessed using a full path to the java.exe executable. (I don't know whether using Sun's downloaded installer will do this - it may still require admin privileges.)
You're in an area where you'll probably have to do some experimentation. I would address the JNLP questions to the Java Web Start forum, there are some good people that monitor that forum.

Problem with JRE and Yahoo applets

Hi, I couldn't find any answer for this anywhere else...
Whenever I try to play a Yahoo game, certain windows will "shake". For example, if I log into yahoo, then go to play their spades game, the applet will load without any problem. The game room will appear and everything seems to be fine. But if I click on the Start Panel, the borders of the Start menu will "shake" If I right click on anything, that menu will also shake. This only occurs while JRE is running the yahoo applet. Once I leave the yahoo game, everything returns to normal. If I use IE and MSVM, this problem does not occur. This problem does not seem to occur with other instances of Java either. Only Yahoo games. I tried searching Yahoo for an answer to this, but didn't find anything. When I tried getting help from them, they replied with an email to update Java and/or my browsers. Well, I am using version 1.4.2_04 of java, and have IE6 updated as of today. Also, I am using Opera version 7.54 and Firefox 0.93. This problem with Java and Yahoo occurs no matter which browser I am using. The only way to keep this from happening seems to be to use IE with MSVM. Any ideas?

That page does apply. Everything that you have written indicates conclusively that the Yahoo game you're playing is the source of the problem. The fact that it works with the MS jvm but not with the Sun jvm, that the Sun jvm works with other Java applets, etc all say the same thing - that Yahoo applets wer/are coded to work with the MS jvm, which uses MS extensions in violation of the Sun/MS licensing agreements. The statement at the bottom of the page is proof positive - your spades game is not listed by Yahoo as being fixed.
"07/17/03 - From Yahoo! Customer Care:
We have deployed a fix for the incompatibilities with the Sun JVM� in the following games:
Chess Gin Cribbage Euchre Bridge
Hearts Toki Toki Boom Graffiti Pool
We plan to upgrade the rest of the games on an ongoing basis. "
The Yahoo applet is the problem and requires repair...

Erase & Install vs. Automatic Installation of Snow Leopard?

We have a MacMini running OS 10.4.11 and want to install Snow Leopard on it. One reason, among many, is that we want to run the newest version of Mac Dictate - v.1.5.8. We're concerned about different information we have received on which form of installation we need to make, and I know the installer options for Snow Leopard have changed from previous OSes. I'm not sure whether we can do an "Automatic" installation, or whether we have to do an "Erase & Install." Here's the conflicting information I've read or received, and I need some guidance on which is the best to follow.
Pogue in his "Missing Manual Snow Leopard" makes very clear that the new, improved and much smarter installer makes it so that there's "no longer any need for the classic "clean install"... every installation is, in effect, a clean install." He says that Snow Leopard can turn any OS X version 10.0 through 10.5-point-anything into version 10.6. He says, there are of course incompatible programs in the Applications folder, for which its one's job to check to make sure they've all been updated to 10.6-compatible versions.
However, the MacSpeech Mac Dictate people say, "if you are currently running 10.4.11 you will not be able to "upgrade" your operating system, you will have to do a clean install of Snow Leopard which will require your programs be reinstalled. For more information on Snow Leopard system requirements please contact Apple."
This seems to be in direct conflict with Pogue's information, which I have found to be extremely reliable - my go to source almost equal to the Apple discussion forums if I have a problem. But, Mac Dictate has a history of quirks. Is it possible that if I did an "automatic" install, the one program Mac Dictate could cause problems, or, not allow me to upgrade/install the new version of Mac Dictate?
Any help on this one? I'd like to do an automatic install and be able to utilize this improvement Apple made with the new OS, an easier installation process.
Thanks.

What about the possibility of older OS components that remain.
FWIW, I have never seen any credible evidence that this actually occurs. It seems to be a theory meant to explain some problems some users have after upgrading, but usually there are other reasons that could explain the same behavior that haven't been ruled out. AFAIK, it is kind of a "maybe/just in case" thing that justifies to some the "nuclear" solution of an erase & install to get rid of vaguely defined problems, including some unspecified 'left over' OS components that nobody seems able to identify.
Personally, I agree with Pogue & with several other users that post here frequently that consider an erase an unnecessary waste of time, except for a few very specific issues like a file system so corrupted that Disk Utility can't repair it or a HD not formatted with the GUID partition scheme.
If it were me & some company like the supplier of MacSpeech said "if you are currently running 10.4.11 you will not be able to 'upgrade' your operating system," I would at the very least ask specifically what they meant by that & why the scare quotes around the work "upgrade." This doesn't seem to have anything to do with the application itself or with installing it -- there is no mention I can find of this in any installation or upgrade instructions at the MacSpeech web site.

Automatic installation of Remote Management not working

Hi,
I have an automatic installation (SETUPNW.EXE /U, unattend.txt file created
by nciadmin) of the latest Novell client 4.9 SP1a+PKA+patches. Although the
installation shows remote management files being copied, the Remote
Management service is not created.
If I manually run \server\public\zenworks\RMSetup /INSTALL /FORCE, the
service is created and starts.
Any ideas? The unattend.txt file is exactly the same as has worked for many
versions in the past.
Thanks,
phillip

Automatic installation of Adobe Framemaker 12

Hello All,
With Adobe Framemaker XI, We could use Adobe Application Manager Enterprise Edition v3.1 to embed the serial number and pre-validate the sign-in option. An MSI was generated, and then an automatic installation could be performed, for enterprise deployments for example.
It seems Adobe Application manager v3.1 is not working with Adobe Framemaker 12.
Is there any way to create a customized installation package, or any command line to use?
Thanks in advance,
YannD.

Deployment Package can be created for FrameMaker 12 by using Creative Cloud Packager 1.6.
Please follow these steps to create package for FrameMaker 12.
1)     Select Create Package
2)     Enter package name and choose saved location
           Select 32 –bit or 64 bit as per the computer configuration
3)     Enter serial Key of FrameMaker 12 and click next.
4)     Choose language from the available language list and select FrameMaker 12 and click build.
It will create deployment package at the destination folder.
Once the package is created you will get the msi package in the build folder at the saved location.
Steps to follow to deploy silently on single machine:
Open CMD in Administrator mode.
Give the path till inside the build folder of the package. For Example if the build is saved on your Desktop the path in CMD should be as below:
C:\Users\[username]\Desktop\Packagefolder\packagename\Build>
Now type the following installation command: msiexec.exe /i packagename.msi /quiet
Launch Task Manager.
There will be three process of “msiexec.exe”
One will be under System
Other Two will be under [username].
Installation will be completed once both the process of msiexec.exe under the [username] are finished.
The installation process with take 5 to 10 minutes.
After the successful installation of main package we need to run the Post Exception Deployer Application.
In Command Prompt you have to go to the exact path where Adobe FrameMaker 12 package folder is placed and go inside Exceptions folder.
Now Run the Command as mentioned below to run the Exceptions Deployer Application.
ExceptionDeployer --workflow=install --mode=post
   9. Installation will be completed in next few minutes.
Regards,
Rajeev.

Winows xp x64 JRE 6u1 - no applets in Mozilla browser

Hi,
i tried to find similar posts but didnt find any. Im using Windows XP (pro) SP2 x64 on a AMD64 processor, and im having problems running applets in my browser (Mozilla 2.0.0.4). I've downloaded the newest JRE 6u1 available on the homepage, and also tried to download applet "plugins" thru Mozilla, but everytime i open a site with a java applet i get this error:

Since im not familiar to Java compailing and programming i dont know what this means.
Im thankfull for any suggestion fixin this error.

I think this is because of sandbox for web applications - see http://download.oracle.com/javafx/2.0/deployment/deploy_overview.htm#CEGJGHDA to understand the restrictions.
You need to sign your application and make sure JNLP requests all permissions.
Good news it is easy in Netbeans - just open project properties and select that application need elevated permissions.
Bad news is that official beta of 7.0.1 used experimental signing support that had bug for jars loaded from file protocol.
You may want to download latest NB 7.0.1 build (and recreate your project) or customize build.xml to sing jar file explicitly using standard ant signjar task.
Or you can always run your tests using http protocol to access the application.

Forcing the JRE WebStart runs in, with deployment.properties

Our application needs webstart to run in a non-public JRE, i.e. one that
does not have a registry entry. The problem is, if you run javaws.exe
from one JRE, webstart can fork off a javaw.exe from another public JRE.
We do not want this behavior, as it causes potential problems. I thought
that creating a .0. entry for our non-public JRE in the deployment.properties
file would solve the problem, and it does for most cases, but I still see some
cases where a public javaw.exe gets run.
What I need to know is, what logic does webstart use to decide which JRE to
use. I have verified that it is possible to use a non-public JRE to run webstart,
as long as the JRE has an entry in the deployment.properties file.
Thanks for any help. I am running a 1.4.2 JRE on Windows platforms.
-Bryan

Two problems with that:
1. I cannot modify the 'deployment.properties' as it will interfear with the client PC's java installation. Plus, I would have to automated this modification somehow for every client PC the application is installed on.
2. The JRE is installed with the application by an installer and not via a URL. I do not want to have clients with slower connections to have to download our JRE over the line just because I cannot force JWS to use the one installed with the application.
In JWS 1.0 I could force this behavior in the javaws.cfg file. But the next version of our application is using JRE 1.4.2 with JWS 1.2, and the configuration files have been changed and moved around.
I just need JWS to update my applications JARs and not bother with the JRE.
Is there anything I can do?

Hi! I can't upgrade my iTunes 10.3.1.55 on my Windows XP 2002 SP3 to the latest version of iTunes. Got the message: "A problem has occured with the Windows Installer-package. A program needed for this installation could not be run." What to do?

Perhaps let's first try updating your Apple Software Update.
Launch Apple Software Update ("Start > All Programs > Apple Software Update"). Does it launch and offer you a newer version of Apple Software Update? If so, choose to install just that update to Apple Software Update. (Deselect any other software offered at the same time.)
If the ASU update goes through okay, try another iTunes install. Does it go through without the errors this time?
