Can't install Java silently on Win7 64 using system account

Hi,
I'm trying to distribute jre-6u31-windows-i586-s.exe which is 32 bit to Windows 7 64 bit PCs using SCCM. This uses the system account, it works fine on 32 bit Win 7 Pc's but the silent install fails on 64 bit. In the past we've been able to extract the msi, there's been no problem with that, but Oracle don't seem to offer this package as an msi anymore, a big disadvantage for us. I've seen several posts on the web regarding this but no solution?
Is anyone able to help?
Many thanks,
Stephen

Hello, we are experiencing the same problem here. I am trying to install the 32-bit version of java 6u31 (jre-6u31-windows-i586-s.exe) via an SCCM task sequence with the /s switch. This runs the installer as the SYSTEM account and whilst it seems to install the 64-bit version fine it fails to install the 32-bit version. I have gone so far as to follow this guide on launching a command prompt as SYSTEM
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7itprogeneral/thread/64bbf341-260a-4778-8aa8-ff53f3659101/
then launching the jre-6u31-windows-i586-s.exe without any switches. This allows me to see the installer within the SYSTEM shell and I can see the following error after clicking "Install" at the welcome to java screen.
*"Windows Installer"*
*"The installation package could not be opened, verify that the package exists and you can access it or contact the application vendor to verify that it is a valid Windows Installer package"*
I can only suspect that the installer must extract the msi file to some arbitrary location that the SYSTEM account can't see. I have tried using Universal Extractor to get hold of an MSI file to install this version of java but this so far hasn't been successful.
If this isn't fixed soon I will be forced to try and use an older version of the JRE. Can anyone from oracle direct us to where we can get hold of an MSI file or how to work around this issue?_
Thank you

PS - It appears to install without error when ran from an administrative user account. Obviously this is no good as we are deploying to 700+ machines and really need it to work from SCCM. I am going to try and use the runas command in windows to see if this will work but I am not holding my breath.
PPS - Runas is no good, as it requires password input and even then it doesn't seem to work very well from the SYSTEM conext.

Can I install PSE 10-13 Win7-8 without the Organizer (uses a lot of resources)?

You can't install them separately, but it is easy to place unique shortcuts on the desktop for organizer and for editor.
In Organizer, go to Edit>Preferences>Auto Analyzer options and uncheck analyzer and people recognition if you don't use them - may improve resource utilization.

Can't install java on OX 10.9.1

I can't install java on my OX 10.9.1 by using http://www.java.com/en/download/mac_download.jsp?locale=en
what can i do? it just tells to contact the softwareproducer?

You may be mis-reading that page. Mavericks 10.9.1 is newer than 10.7.3, so click the Download Java link at the bottom of the page:
Java for Mac
Check your version of Mac OS X. » How do I find my Mac OS X version?
Mac OS X Version 10.6 and below
Use Software Update available on the Apple menu to check that you have the most up-to-date version of Java 6 for your Mac. Java 7 is not supported by these older versions of Mac OS X. If you have problems with Java 6, contact Apple Technical Support. Java.com does not provide a download for these systems.
Mac OS X Version 10.7.3 (Lion) or newer
Java 7 can run on your Mac. Java 7 requires an Intel-based Mac running Mac OS X 10.7.3 (Lion) or later and administrator privileges for installation.

If that is not the problem, please explain further.

I can't install Java in Firefox. Intead Java works fine with IE. I preffer Firefox 4 but...I'm running Win 7 64-bit.

I;m running win7 64-bit and I can;t install Java in Firefox 4. Java works fine with IE.

On Java, I think we've covered the basics. There are a couple of other articles that might help:
[http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Java-related%20issues Java-related issues | Troubleshooting | Firefox Help]
[http://kb.mozillazine.org/Plugin_scanning Plugin scanning - MozillaZine Knowledge Base] (you would want to make sure it is ''not'' disabled; in about:config, filter on plugin.scan and see whether anything has been changed from its default)
On Norton, there are a number of recent threads here, but I have not been reading them. Hopefully someone has posted the answer.

I have mac os x 10.6.8. The system preferences doesn't show java at all. How can I install java please?

Hi!
I have mac os x 10.6.8. The system preferences doesn't show java at all. How can I install java please?

Don't change your story now. You did not say through Apple, you first gave a link to this site,
http://www.java.com/en/download/apple.jsp
You said, "Go there and download the latest version of Java"
that plainly says,
"Mac OS X Version 10.6 and below
Use Software Update available on the Apple menu to check that you have the most up-to-date version of Java 6 for your Mac."
This corroborates me saying that Java for Mac OS 10.6 is done through Software Update, no where else.
If any Mac OS 10.6 user does not have Java on their Mac, they get it from Apple just as the link you provided shows it is from Apple. Not Oracle. You have provided the evidence that plainly contradicts yourself.
This is your second link that is to Apple.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1573
Just to go over this again. Software Update not only updates Java to the latest, but if Java does not exist at all, SU will install it from scratch. And in doing so will be the latest version.
Providing a link to Oracle's site is useless information that does not get Java installed on a Mac running 10.6.

'''Is there a way to download FF to a USB from another computer and install it from that USB on my PC? '''
You basically answered your own question. If you have access to another computer just go download the appropriate language and OS version of Firefox 5.0 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html and put it on you usb drive and then go and install it onto you pc.

Which version of Windows XP (SP1, SP2, SP3?) can I install on Mac Pro 2011 using Boot camp

I am planning to install Microsoft XP on my Mac Pro 2011 using boot-camp. Since there are multiple versions available (Home, Professional, Pro with SP1, SP2, and SP3's etc…) I am finding hard to decide which one is the tested and best available option?
Also any other specific features to consider while purchasing this OS.
Please advise…

However, I am not clear what you guys wanna say here, I simply want to know Which windows XP can I install on Macbook Pro (Laptop) using boot camp?
I will repeat what I already said given that you told us that you are running Lion on a newer MacBook Pro.
You should visit the Boot Camp forum https://discussions.apple.com/community/windows_software/boot_camp
And you should read the Boot Camp Help documents http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
XP, regardless of version, is not going to work on a newer computer nor will it work if you are running Lion OS.

It depends on which region you are in? I am also assuming you are trying to install the trial version using your serial number? Finally I would also assume that your computer meets the minimum system requirements?

Can I install Java 2 SDK 1.4.2 with NetBeans bundle on a Laptop?

I'm new to programming and I'm getting an Alienware notebook with WindowsXP in a few months. I just want to be sure I can install and use Java on it.
Any recommendations for literature on programming for beginners would be great too. Something easy to get into and learn from progressively, I have no programming experience.
I will be tinkering and learning Java for the next few months hopefully, and reading text, and then I'm getting the notebook and I'm wondering if I will be able to use the bundle on it or if I need more downloads or anything. So any info on that would be great along with some good text purchases.
Thanks.

The Alienware should have no problems, everything I've heard about them has been good.
I recommend that you install just Java, without Netbeans, then go to the Netbeans site - www.netbeans.org - and install the Netbeans found there. This way the 2 products are separate, and each can be independently updated - a problem if you install the bundle. Also, you can get the latest version of each.
Select the J2SE 5.0 Java Development Kit (JDK). The current version is JDK 5.0 Update 1. This could go to Update 2 in a few months. Download the offline installer (large bundle), it's less likely to create problems than the online installer.
I also recommend you download and install the documentation bundle (J2SE 5.0 Documentation, another large one) as Netbeans will need it.
I recommend Netbeans 4.0, it works well with java 5. You should avoid 4.1, as it's still not stable.
These items will allow you to create Java programs for all but the very largest corporate systems. There are specialized libraries that you can add later, as the need arises.
Be sure to read all of the installation instructions before you start (one for Java, one for the docs, and one for NB.) They'll help you avoid a lot of the beginner problems.
Sun has a very good tutorial - The Java Tutorial - that starts you at the very beginning and explains it all. There are a bunch of more specialized tutorials also, when you're ready for them. Go to java.sun.com and click Tutorials and Code Camps from the left-hand column.
You can start the Java Tutorial right now, as the first part of it (after the introductory Your First Cup of Java) is learning the basics of the language, object orientation, and inheritance. This is covered by the topics Getting Started and Learning the Java Language.
Hope you have fun!

Hi @HungVo ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have looked into your issue about your Probook 450 g and issues with the mouse drivers. The Synaptics Driver in Windows 7 comes with mouse drivers. Unless you are using a USB mouse which would use the Plug n Play drivers. Here is a download that might help.
Here is a link to the HP Support Assistant. Just download and run the application and it will help with the software and drivers on your system.
To get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since this is a commercial product. You can do this at Commercial Forums.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.
