Deploying JRE 1.4.2_12 without auto update enabled

I am deploying JRE 1.4.2_12 to a large number of client machines with both Windows 2000 and XP. I need to do this in a way that the auto update prompt will never appear. This could cause a large number of support calls from the users and it's best if they are never asked to install updates.

I got problem when i write a program to read chinese
excel sheet with jre 1.4.2_12, chinese will encoding
incorrect in java, but when I change jre version to
jre 1.4.2_10 or jre 1.5.0 update 7 , everything s ok
. any solution?
p.s. jexcelapi 2.5.8Hi Vencent,
I am also seeing encoding problems with 1.4.2_12 and havent been able to find a solution. Did you find a solution to your problem? If so I'd appreciate it if you could post it.
Thanks,
Declan.

Chrome 15/16, and IE8/9 Now Auto-updating

Hello --
I'm curious if/when Adobe will be updating BrowserLabs to include rendering with Chrome 15 and 16. Also, what patch levels are the IE8/IE9 rendering engines at? Microsoft now has auto-updating enabled in IE8/IE9 so updates are more frequent and automatic. I'm noticing that the results I'm seeing on BrowserLabs don't match what I'm seeing in my desktop versions of these browsers.
Thanks in advance,
Carlos Abreu

Yep. You are definitely having trouble keeping pace.
And not simply because the open-source-based Browser developers have a rapid deployment cycle. Microsoft does not have that same cycle - and neither does Apple. And yet Adobe isn't even keeping pace w/ the tweaks that they release for their current Browser versions.
Case in point IE 8 is displaying incorrectly in Browser Lab while it displays correctly in the actual Browser. I only discovered this after 2 days of CSS tweaks to figure out why come CSS3 was not showing up in ABL. (developing on a Mac) THen by random chance I happened to log into a Win Box that had IE8 installed and confusion set in for a minute when I realized the CSS had ben working correctly the entire time and that ABL was in fact in error.
IF you are going to have a product such as this - it would be in your best interest to put noticeably more focus into it - as your biggest audience is going to be developers that need to be able to keep pace w/ the correct implementations of the given Browser Versions - otherwsie - it's a waste of a product and developer time to use it.
Get real - IE 8 has been out for a while now - if you can't keep up w/ the once in a while tweaks that Microsoft puts out for that specific version - why the hell have it available ?
Please do not let this slip into the gutter the way the DW Dev Team allowed the Spry Framework to do. I am getting to the point where I only use Adobe products anymore because I have no alternative (like InDesign) or because there is lack of a better option (like PS or DW). (yes - there are alternatives out there but they are garbage and Adobe's product development in the past few years reeks of too much ego because you all know there are less favorable alternatives. Point is you are getting sloppy.
And Mark no offense - but your explaination does not cut it bud. All I read in that is PR spin. You guys are at the top in the industry - you should be pushing and setting the standard not making excuses as to why you can't keep up w/ the standard.

IPS Auto Update Failure

Hi,
I have auto update enabled in my AIP SSM 10 , at the time of auto updates i have observed the following messages in Console
"Broadcast Message from IPS

It remains in this condition and then i have to do a hw-module reset to get it back again , moreover updates which were downloaded arent applied.
Kindly Help

When signature auto-update failures are diagnosed, look at the HTTP             error codes.

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.

Firefox 29 . Will auto update work ok without reporting missing files ?

I am getting ready to switch from IE to Chrome or Firefox. I have read numerous complaints about the Auto Update feature on Firefox. Below is a copy of one of them. How common is this problem?

Firefox has almost 1/2 billion users. Chances are there are many people will post about a problem even if it only affects a small minority or is fixed.
Possibly you are asking about the Rapid Release Cycle. I think most would agree it initially caused problems mainly with incompatible addons. That problem is largely resolved now. Corporate users deploying Firefox may also have had issues but now have the option of using a different release channel of Firefox.
Your article was apparently not attached, maybe you could provide a link to it. I would point out that discussion of Development issues is normally considered off topic on this forum. I will edit the title from
* Is there a problem with missing files with FF auto updates?
to
* Firefox 29 . Will auto update work ok without reporting missing files ?
That way the question is current and we actually expect developers to be around this week answering questions about Firefox 29.

WebStart app doesn't run after JRE auto-update

Our JNLP-deployed app doesn't start if the JRE is auto-updated as part of the WebStart download. The JRE update completes successfully but the app doesn't start and the desktop shortcuts created by WebStart don't work (the path to the webstart app in the shortcuts appears to be invalid). The user has to go back to the webpage and click the link to the app's JNLP file again, then the shortcuts will have the correct path and the app will start.
Currently, our app requires JRE 1.5.0, so typically the update is going from 1.4.2 to 1.5.0. As a test, I tried starting with 1.5.0 installed and having the app require 1.6.0 and everything works perfectly, the JRE gets auto-updated, desktop shortcuts are valid and our app starts immediately afterwards.
This problem occurs whether the new JRE is auto-updated directly from Sun or from our own server (we're using the JREInstaller from the 1.5.0 JDK samples).
Any idea what the problem is and how to correct it?

Any idea what the problem is ..No.
.. and how to correct it? Does it work when the user upgrades direcly from
1.4.2 to 1.6? If so, you might specify 1.6 is the
minimum requirement. This is obviously not an
ideal solution, but may get your users out of a bind,
and they are probably better off using 1.6, in any case.

Go from manually update to auto-update without losing songs?

I was trying to delete some podcasts from my ipod, and was following the directions on the help menu which told me to go to preferences and choose manual update, then delete. I tried it, and it didn't work. When I decided to go back to auto update, I received a message that everything on my ipod would be deleted and the update would be just what is on the itunes on that machine. I have more than one computer, and have itunes on each one. There are different songs on each computer. If I go to manually update on this computer, it will erase the songs I've put on from other computers. All this and I still have the unwanted podcasts. Can anyone help me to go back to auto-update without losing songs? If worse comes to worst I guess I'll have to update, lose the songs, and then re-update at my other computers. thanks.

Afraid that's not possible. If you go to auto-update, the iPod gets cleared and replaced with the current contents of the iTunes library.

SUN .... When.... JRE 1.4.0 international with auto update

SUN .... When.... JRE 1.4.0 international with auto update
When will you deliver .........
We have a dead line and our product needs the international version 1.4 to be updated on our exsiting user base, one of our customers has over 700 workstations.
If the solution is to manually dowload and install this version then Web Start totally fails as a web centric solution.
I see that creating our own servlet breaches SUN's license agreement, so give us a developer servlet we can use.

The auto download servlet supports both international and us-only versions of Java 1.4.0.
Java Web Start includes the current locale in the request to the servlet, and it returns the
US only version if the locale is en_US , or the international version otherwise.
Curently there is no way to get the servlet to download the international version when the
clients locale is en_US.Sorry but havent you just anwsered the question I put, either the servlet supports international clients or it dosent and your anwser just puts more wood on the fire, it dosent, but it could.
Also we recognize that there is a problem when an application needs the international version, and >>the client already has the US version installed. In this case Java Web Start will not attempt
to contact the servlet since it thinks it has an appropriate version allready.Also if you client requires an international version of the JRE it is because it requires that version period, hence if the version tag within the JNLP file specifies JRE1.4 international, then it dosent matter what Web Start may or may not think, the JNLP file written for the application by the author should determine its fate.
The only reason Web Start should determine locale on a target machine would be the text displayed for the dialog interface between the end user.
Its a simple case of checking do I have 1.4 international, "Yes or No", at this point I dont care if 1.4 English is installed, or locale is English, JNLP file asked Web Start, if 1.4 international was installed, "No", Ok then call servlet and request 1.4 international. Simple....
The JRE license agreement allows customers to repackage and redistribute the JRE.
Many customers are redistributing a JRE with their app. Im sure many are, please read my previous post , if you can get sun to offically confirm this, then I stand corrected.

Installation issues with JRE, Auto Update, win 2008 and terminal services

Hello,
We have seven Windows 2008 servers running Terminal Services in one TS farm. I have approximately 600 users accessing these servers. We have a need for the Java JRE. The JRE is to be installed on each of the seven servers since the user has no input into which server they log on to (round robin / load balancing)
There are several issues that have occurred with this installation. I install the JRE on each of the servers when there is no one logged on. I turn off both of the update features while installing as administrator. When the users log on, however they are at some point prompted for an admin password to update Java. The users have no need to update java as all updates will be performed by the system admin. Additionally, when the user runs any app that uses the Java plug-in, they get a folder put on their desktop labeled Sun.
Are there special instructions for installing Java when using Terminal Services and Windows 2008? As you can well see, 600 calls to the help desk asking about this update popup is not productive and accessing 600 users accounts and turning off the auto update on an individual basis is not practical. The user cannot disable this update anyway. They options are grayed out at the user level.
If this is not the proper forum to ask these question, please forward this message to the proper department or let me know who I should/could contact to resolve these issues.
Best regards,
Bob

I mean to only explain 1 enviornment. We have a windows 2008 terminal server. It has JRE 1.6.0_07 (32bit) install on it. The users use this server for Office Apps and to Access our software which is web based and requires a JRE to be able to work.
When the users login the terminal server picks up there local timezone from the machine they are logging in from and apply's it to there terminal server session. The problem is when the jre is launched it is picking up the server timezone, not the timezone from the users session(which is different).
Does this clarify it?Nope.
Either the user is running the jre or the server is. Or maybe both. Seems like all of those are possible from your explanation.
It doesn't matter what the jre is running. What matters is who runs the jre.
Best I can suppose your situation is as follows.
- The server, not a user, is running a jre with one or more applications.
- The users use something, probably a browser, to access that server app (it doesn't even matter that it is java in terms of what the users are doing.)
If and only if that is your situation then you MUST pass information from the browser session to the server (java or anything else for that matter) and you MUST use that information in the server code to display time information.

The date column should automatically get updated when ever i execute an Update statement.

Enable auto update while deploying Reader 11 via group policy

I would like to push the latest adobe reader 11 out via group policy. I have tried using the adobe customization wizard but I am unable to set the installs to auto update. They default to download the update and prompt the user. I do'nt want the user to be prompted at all. I just want it to automatically update. Is there an easy way to deploy this?
I would like it to be like flash. You can deploy the mms.cfg file and it configured flash to auto update.
Thanks,
Justin

Turning auto update (auto sync) off without connecting ipod to pc

I use my ipod with 2 different computers and beleive I left auto update turned on one pc. If I connect it will wipe out the work I have done over the weekend using my other machine. I deinstalled the ipod and itunes software and reinstalled both but the itunes still reflects the playlists and songs I had created prior to uninstalling and reinstalling. I am afraid to plug the ipod in for fear that I will lose everything if it automatically begins syncing. Is there a way to turn the feature off without plugging in the ipod?

You can use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys (on a Mac hold down the Option and Command (⌥ and ⌘) keys). This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 3 and 30 seconds depending on your computer. Then go to Preferences>iPod and check the "Manually manage songs and playlists" box.
Another way is to connect your iPod and before it starts to sync, click the little X on the right hand side of the display beside the "Do Not Disconnect" message. The display is the little window to the right of the iTunes control buttons: iPod Interface
Or you could look at the method described in this link: How to keep iTunes from automatically updating your iPod
You won't erase your iPod if you heed the iTunes Warning dialogue box.
If at any stage iTunes brings up a dialogue window asking whether you want to replace the songs on your iPod with the songs in iTunes, press "No". Pressing "Yes" will irredeemably remove or replace all songs from your iPod.

How to disable auto update jre-6u20 by script

Hi,
our users can not update java, because of domain-restrictions.
So they should not become the notification.
How can we disable auto update for version jre-6u20 by script?

Trying to figure out the same thing. I came across the following two links but I don't think they will disable the updates to community help itself. So from what I can gather you need to do the following:
Turn off autoupdates to AIR (See below)
Turn off updates to Community Help (No clue how to do this)
Install Local content (See below)
Disables updates to AIR
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/air/admin/WS485a42d56cd1964167ea49bd124ef17d52a-7ff5.html#WS48 5a42d56cd1964167ea49bd124ef17d52a-7ff2
Turn off internet access/help and copy local help
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/849/cpsid_84992.html
Turn off internet access (not sure if you need to do this one and the one above or just the one above)
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/846/cpsid_84665.html
You can download the latest version of AIR and Community Help.

What is the Flash Player auto-update behaviour for users without admin credentials on OSX and Windows?

Hi
Does Flash Player auto-update have the ability to update systems when a user does not have administrator access on their device?
What will the results be if we enable Flash Player auto-update on OSX and Windows systems where:
1. Users are log in with accounts that DO NOT have administrator access; and
2. Internet access is granted via a proxy server, but only when a user with NO administrator credentials is logged in.
Thanks in advance.

Maria
So there's no way to completely turn off user notification AND allow background updates unless you use a locally hosted update server? That's too bad.
Reading page 26 of the manual, I see there's an mms.cfg file that you can configure, with an option SilentAutoUpdateEnable, which is described on page 32:
SilentAutoUpdateEnable
SilentAutoUpdateEnable = [ 0, 1 ] (0 = false, 1 = true)
Availability: Flash Player 11.2 for Microsoft Windows, and Flash Player 11.3 for Macintosh
Enables a Flash Player update to install silently in the background with no user interaction. Installs both the ActiveX and plug-in players when appropriate. This type of update is called a Flash Player background update.
Standard users cannot disable background updates if they are enabled by an administrator.
Depending on the type of browser, if the user has a browser open at the time of an update, the browser might not use the updated player immediately. For more information, see "Performing a background update" on page 19.
The default value is 0 to disable background updates.
So you're saying that even if we enable this option (but don't configure a local server), users may still be prompted some or all of the time?
