Centrally Controling JRE Installations/Updates Company Wide

We are currently using a java based CRM system with a huge number of different peices. We would like to look into doing some upgrades and it has come to our attention that if a user has an older version of the JRE one of the applications works fine but when they click the upgrage feature at the client side and upgrades to the latest version, the application no longer runs.
I fully understand this is probably an issue with the CRM solution not working with the newer JRE but our fear is that more then one person will begin to upgrade their clients. Also, we have very little control over what JRE versions they go and download and install.
The question is, is there a known function/feature/or software package that will allow us to centrally manage what version of the JRE is allowed to be installed and or upgrade similar to how you can use WSUS for managing what microsoft patches are released to your corporate enviroment?
Does Sun have anything like this?
Does anyone have any suggestions on things we can do?

Hmm. Well... I'll bump this thread one more time to give it one last gasp. Am I asking too many things at once? If I had one single question that needed to be answered, it's this:
When dealing with Adobe software that requires a login for ongoing communication with Adobe, what is the risk of using the master user account and password for my organization as the username and password for any individual installation, and how do other people mitigate this risk?
Oh wait... is that two questions? Crap!

  • JRE 7 update 3 with javafx offline installation

    Hi,
    I am testing the option to run javafx application in a clean client machine with only JRE 7 update 3 installed on it.
    when I install jre 7 update 3 on this machine from Oracle web site I have two options: online install or offline install, if I do offline install then jre installation does NOT install the javafx runtime, if I install the online install of the JRE than at the end of the installation it also installs the Javafx runtime.
    this happens as well in JRE 7 update 2.
    Is this a bug of Oracle?
    thanks.

    Hi,
    Thanks for your answer, the information from the Javafx website is quite confusing as they state that every time the JRE is installed than the Javafx runtime is also installed from JRE 7 update 2 (no word about online or offline installation), see text from the website:
    "Starting with Java SE 7 Update 2 and JavaFX 2.0.2, the JavaFX Runtime is co-installed every time the JRE is installed. The JavaFX Runtime is also installed with the JavaFX SDK, but you can still download a stand-alone version of the JavaFX Runtime here"
    taken from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javafx/downloads/index.html
    maybe they mean the JDK installation...
    thanks,
    leli.Yes, and the online installation does exactly that. The offline installation is only provided as an extra service, if you make use of that service you are expected to know what you are doing. So use the online installation and you can stop being confused.

  • Java Applets - JRE 6 Update 18

    Hi All,
    I am working on a web application. Developed a web page using HTML <Applet> tag.
    Web page is working fine on JRE 6 update 18 version.
    Yesterday, my system gone through auto update of JRE 7 update 25. Today morning, i uninstalled JRE 7 update 25 and re-installed JRE 6 update 18.
    Note : Before re-installation, have cleared all temp file, cache files, registry using CCCleaner.
    Now, when i go to control panel, JRE 6 update 18 version is installed successfully. But the Applets on web page is not loading.
    Error : "Object Doesn't Support this property or method".
    Before auto update the same page was working fine with JRE 6 update 18 version, later its' not.
    Kindly help.
    Thanks.
    S.Rajesh.

    I also noticed the two different files, I downloaded them both and extracted the files to different directories.
    The dates and file sizes match; I used Windiff to compare directories and they came up identical.
    I guess a different method was used to create each of the installer .exes - I don't know why they are named differently though. From my testing the resultant extracted files are identical.

  • Packaging JRE/plug-in with Mozilla & our app... is JRE installer required?

    We distribute a version of our application as a standalone implementation of our web application. We use an applet to act as a wrapper of our application server, proxying request/responses through JavaScript/applet instead of HTTP/servlet.
    Right now we package the installer for our standalone application so that it installs JRE 1.3.1_01 using the standard installer, then installs the application. When the user wants to run the application, he opens a HTML page in IE 5.5 or IE 6 referencing the applet. From here the application runs just like it runs in the server-based mode.
    The problem with this model is our dependency on the target system having the correct browser. I would like to package Mozilla and the JRE with the application, thus giving us more control over the installation.
    Ideally, I would like to have an installer that simply creates a directory with our application, a dedicated copy of Mozilla, and a dedicated copy the JRE. That way we could custom configure Mozilla to contain NP*.DLL in the bin/plugins directory, and have a custom policy file in the JRE. Does the JRE installer do anything 'special,' such as create registry entries that the plug-in must reference to run? Does anyone have similar experience with doing this?
    Thanks!

    I'm actually trying to do the same thing I've been wondering what the best way is to package the JRE in this case. Is there a way to install the JRE without using the installer and just copy the files where we need to put them? I am using Phoenix, a mozilla fork, that does not have the plugins folder updated with the proper java plugins when the JRE is installed, we have to manually copy the plugins that got installed into the Mozilla folder. Please let me know if you found anything.
    Thanx.

  • Disable JRE Auto update in Vista for all users?

    I feel like a complete idiot that I can't figure this out, but it's either so obvious I'm overlooking it, or I just plain can't figure it out, so I'm hoping someone here can help.
    We have not yet been able to figure out how to simply disabled the Auto Update option when installing JRE under Vista, so it will never check for updates, no matter what user is logged into a pc. I've just installed the newest version 1.6.0_05-b13, but get the same results.
    Basically, we are creating a "base clone image" of a Vista workstation and we need the auto update feature of the JRE to be disabled so it doesn't check for updates. When a new user logs into the pc, we want them to 'inherit' this setting from the default user profile, or we simply want a 'global' setting on the pc that stops all JAVA update checks from occuring. But even though there are multiple registry keys that 'look' like they control the auto update function, no matter how we set them the update option still shows it is enabled when you open the JAVA control panel.
    We have 2 basic problems:
    - When a standard user runs the JAVA Control Panel applet and they select the 'Update' tab, the option to "uncheck" autoupdates is "grayed out". If we make the user a local administrator, then it is not grayed out anymore and they can set the option. Problem is, we have thousands of users and none of them are local administrators, hence the problem of getting it to already be defaulted to not check for updates. How do we get the update checkbox to NOT be grayed out for a NON-administrator?
    - How do we set the 'global' (or default) option to disable the auto update checkbox for ALL users? No matter what we try, when a new user logs in, the auto update feature is still enabled after their initial profile is generated from the first time login.
    I was able to figure out if I change the "EnableJavaUpdate" value in the below registry key, it will "remove" the Update tab from the JAVA Control Panel. But does the simply remove the tab? Or does it remove the tab AND disable auto updates for ALL users on the computer?
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Update\Policy
    I've sent multiple emails to Sun asking for help on what should be a simple thing to do, but have never received a reply from them.
    Keith Hemmelman

    Thank you for the reply. I apologize for not getting back here sooner.
    We actually already use a deployment.properties file located under the Default User profile on our Vista setup. It's located under the "C:\Users\Default\AppData\LocalLow\Sun\Java\Deployment" folder. This file does get copied over to a new user profile when a new person logs in. This is what we want since we have set things like the maximum cache size and temporary file location.
    The problem though is there is no setting that disables the automatic update check within this file. The best I can figure out is that for some reason under the Vista environment, the auto update setting is controlled in the registry at: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\JavaSoft\Java Update\Policy
    There is a REG_BINARY key there that appears to control this option. It is named "EnableAutoUpdateCheck". The problem is that the value of this key is "several" characters long and it is "different" from one user to the next. I tried disabling auto update under the Java Control Panel and then copied the value of this key into the same aread of the Default User hive but when a new user logs in, it ignores that setting and auto update is still enabled. I also tried using a simple "0" to disable the autoupdate or a "1" to enable it for this key, but it doesn't work either. (This is very frustrating why there isn't a simple 1 or 0 setting to turn the auto update setting on/off.)
    We had no problem getting this to work under XP. Basically we didn't have to do anything special in XP. We simply created a temporary user account and made all the settings we wanted and then copied that profile over to our Default User profile and the Java autoupdate setting under the Java Control Panel was disabled for all new users. We did the same thing under Vista, but the auto update setting was ignored and re-enabled for all new users.
    I read through the settings for the deployment.properties file located at the below link, but there is nothing there to control the auto update setting.
    http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/deployment/deployment-guide/properties.html
    Thus, we can't get the auto update setting to be disabled in the default user profile so it will in turn be disabled for all new users that log into the computer. This is extremely frustrating.
    The other equally frustrating problem we have run into under the Vista environment is that when you run the Java Control Panel, the option to disable the auto update check is "grayed out" and the user can't uncheck this option to disable auto update. We have found you must be an administrator before this option is no longer grayed out. Since none of our thousands of users are admins, this is also a problem for us. (This option works fine for a standard user if you are on a XP machine though. It's just Vista where things have changed.)
    I've sent repeated emails to Sun in the past asking for help, but they never replied.

  • Using axbridge.dll without going through the JRE installation process

    I've searched the web and this forum for this specific problem, and have found related items, but nothing that quite answers the question.
    I have an application that uses the JRE's axbridge.dll to access a DLL created from a Java bean. I used the packager to create a DLL named MyBean.dll.
    When I go through the full JRE install, everything works great. That is to say, when I execute Sun's JRE installation program and go through the normal install process, I can access the bean through MyBean.dll without any problems.
    I am accessing MyBean.dll from a Visual Basic 6.0 application. Converting to VB .Net is NOT an option at this time. The VB app uses MyBean.dll for a critical part of the application.
    It is my understanding that it is not strictly necessary to go through the full JRE installation process. Simply deploying the JRE by copying its directory (and all subdirectories) to your application's directory structure should be sufficient. This would be HIGHLY desirable for my application. In fact, if I can't do this, it may be a show-stopper.
    When I install my application in this way (i.e, by simply copying the JRE instead of "installing" it) it doesn't work at all. I immediately get an error saying that the executable "has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience" and a dialog is displayed offering to send the problem information to Microsoft.
    The details indicate clearly that the problem occurs in the axbridge.dll, version 1.4.2.60.
    1. Any ideas on how to get the axbridge.dll to work without going through the full JRE install?
    2. Are there any alternatives to using the axbridge.dll to get my VB app to be able to use the Java? Remember, it is VB that must call the Java, NOT the other way around.
    3. Is JNI an alternative? If so, can I use JNI to get VB to use Java, or do I have to write the DLL's in C++?
    Any help you can give would be VERY MUCH appreciated.

    I'm also on a JRE installation problem with the bridge.
    Here is a regmon extract on excel using a dll that uses a java-packaged dll from the bridge:
    5229 5.69504923 EXCEL.EXE:2364 QueryValue HKCR\CLSID\{9DD49FCD-BB61-414E-88C8-E6F5B35AEDCB}\InprocServer32\(Default) SUCCESS "C:\win32app\Specific\jre1.5.0_05\bin\axbridge.dll" << The axbridge dll in a specific location

    This is confirmed with process explorer : excel is using "C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_05\lib\rt.jar" and not "C:\win32app\Specific\jre1.5.0_05\lib\rt.jar"
    In other word, the axbridge check for its installation location in the registry to know where to start.
    Even if all your components have been updated in the registry as suggested here : http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?forumID=40&threadID=559704
    JRE Bug or feature?
    Anyway the registry is evil.

  • TDMS central/control system, should I have to install it in a solution manager? Is it a prerequisite?

    Hello,
    I have a doubt about the installation of the central/control system of TDMS, the documentation say that TDMS should be installed in a Netweaver 7.0 and it also say that the solution manager can be used for the central/control system, but I also have read in a lot of documents relating TDMS with solution manager, so I am a little confused with this prerequisite.
    Is the Solution manager a prerequisite for the installation of the central/control system? If so, where can I find it in the documentation?
    or
    Can we use a simple Netweaver 7.0 ERP to be the central/control system? Without any solution manager?
    Please, advice
    Thanks in advance,
    Walde Requena

    Hello Billy,
    This is quite interesting.  TDMS is fully supported with a Solman system as well and is being used
    extensively by several customers. We have not heard of any Solman Service getting impacted because of using that system as a TDMS Control system. Can you precisely describe what kind of
    conflicts where encountered , when you had tried using your solman as a TDMS control system.
    May be you have followed some incorrect step here.
    Note : The idea of using a Solman system was to avoid redundant systems in your landscape .
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks,
    Rajesh

  • Problems with JRE installation 1.6.0_18 in silent mode

    Hi!
    I have problems with installing the JRE from the cmd line in silent mode and in a directory with spaces in the path.
    If I remove the spaces in the INSTALLDIR, the JRE installs in the directory I have specified but not when I use spaces in the path.
    The command I run is following:

  • What's the significance of the letter -p in the JRE installables

    Hi,
    Can anybody please let me know what is the significance of the letter "-p" in the JRE installables as i could see that till JRE 1.6.0_13 the name for the Window offline installable has -p {for eg: jre-6u12-windows-i586-p.exe} where as for the higher version i.e 1.6.0_14 onwards there is no letter "-p" {for eg: jre-6u14-windows-i586.exe} .
    Appreciate your quick response in this regards.

    qm control is only useful for procured materials
    it
    Manage quality-related information for materials, vendors, and manufacturers in quality info records
    Monitor the QM systems of vendors and manufacturers
    Supply quality documents with requests for quotations and purchase orders
    Certify vendors or manufacturers that have QM systems implemented, to reduce the inspection requirement
    Request that quality certificates be submitted with the delivered goods and monitor the receipt of these certificates
    Inspect vendor goods at vendor sites (source inspections)
    Block the payment of invoices until the goods have been inspected and accepted
    U can use qm control key depending upon ur requirement

    Reviewing the preceding posts, I saw the suggestion to remove a java folder in c:"Program Files ..."
    Imagine my surprise to discover that there was such a folder on my system after my uninstalls of java using Revo Uninstaller.
    There were also java executables in the windows, System32, SysWOW64 subfolders.
    After I again uninstalled the jdk 64 bit, I deleted all folders that seemed to contain java
    When I reinstalled jdk 64 update 24 to c:\s\java, I was again not asked where to install the jre.
    Inspecting the folder tree at c:\s\java I can see c:\s\java\jre but no folder c:\s\java\jre6
    However, after this install I am able to execute the java command without seeing an error.
    I don't think I'm fully functional yet because an attempt to start eclipse 3.6 (Helios) gives an immediate error windows "Failed to load the JNI shared library "c:\s\java\bin\..\jre\bin\server\jvm.dll"
    Since the file c:\s\jre\server\jvm.dll does exist, I'll try re-installing eclipse.

  • Multiple JRE Installations and Coexistence

    Hi Guys
    Could any of you please help at all.
    I am looking to find out is anyone has experienced or knows of any coexistence issues relating to Sun JRE installations.
    We have the following JRE versions deployed on our estate:
    1.4.2_04, 1.4.2_05 and 1.30_02
    These are existing application dependencies.
    We are looking to also deploy version 1.5.0_05 for a new application so this could potentially be installed on a machine with any of the above versions already installed.
    If anyone has experienced any coexistence issues with any of the above, I would be very grateful of your help.
    Many thanks all

    6u10 offers a solution to this problem. The rewritten plugin in 6u10 allows the plugin to call the JRE version specified by the applet. The html source calling the applet must specify the version, which you may need to add if it is not already there.

  • Cost Centre creat at Controlling Areal level or Company code level???

    Hi,
    I have a doubt,  
    1. Cost center is created at controlling area level or company code level.
    2. Is it possible to create at company code level.
    Please update me.
    We have company code field in cost center master.
    If we update this field, can we use same cost center for another company code also???
    Thanks
    Partha

    Hi Joshi,
    Thanks for your inputs.
    We create cost center in CO under controlling area. [In cost center master there is one filed company, its not mandatory.]
    Question is - If multiple company codes assigned to one Controlling Area, in this case -
      Is it possible to utilize same controlling are for multiple company codes.  
    You tell me if possible, how it is possible?
    Thanks

  • Jre installer suffixes

    On my search for the standalone installer of jre 6 update 31 I found these different files:
    jre1.6.0_31-c.msi
    jre1.6.0_31-c-l.msi
    jre1.6.0_31-s.msi
    jre1.6.0_31-s-l.msi
    jre-6u31-windows-i586.exe
    jre-6u31-windows-i586-s.exe
    Now I am curious what the suffixes -c, -l, -s stands for.
    Untill now I figured out what these indicate, but don't know what the latter two mean:
    -iftw install from the web
    -p performance release
    -k kernel installation

    It sounds like the client doesn't know what to do with what you are sending. Are you sure you are setting all of the header information correctly? Try using a telnet client to issue the GET request and see what is coming back.
