Install JRE silently

I'm installing JRE on my network workstations with these parameters :
/s /v"/qn IEXPLORER=1 ADDLOCAL=ALL UPDATE=1 /L C:\jre.log JAVAUPDATE=0 REBOOT=Suppress"
under the administrator account remotely , the progress is finished successfully due to the log file and the add/remove programs applet in "Control Panel" , but when another user logs in and browse a page with java applets , the install screen apears and asks the user to install the java runtime environment again ! Of course this time there is only modify or remove items are available in the installation dialog . How can I finalize the installation and prevent the install dialog in the next user login ?

We've had many kicks at silent installation of JRE (we're a LanDesk shop), and if it occurs during a user session with an open browser, it can completely mess up the installation. I've submitted a bug report on this already (1669879).
Inside the %PROGRAMFILES%\Java\JRE6\bin folder is the Microsoft Runtime Library file MSVCR71.DLL that gets locked if a browser is open. During installation, the older JRE6 version is removed (unless it was installed with the STATIC switch) except for MSVCR71.DLL. Then the silent installation begins, with the core.zip expanding in alphabetical order until it comes to the letter m where it finds MSVCR71.DLL and just stops (in a non-silent mode, the user would be thrown a dialog to quit the browser / jqs, etc.). No roll back, no repair, etc. So now your left with some residual files, some reg entries but no control panel, no entry in the ADD/Remove Programs list (ARP), no regsvr32 registration has occurred.
MSVCR71.DLL See (MS KB326922) is distributed with an app when the application was developed with Microsoft Visual C++ .NET 2003. This file doesn't change (unless the Visual Studio gets upgraded) as JRE6 updates get incremented. A solution for the developer might be to skip this .dll if it is encountered during expansion of the core.zip file. Or how about an .msp file instead of full blown installers?
Using Group policy in a networked environment to push JRE will work if done correctly (using software installation or computer startup script).

Installing JRE in silent mode

Need to install JRE in Linux in silent mode (have to give yes to license agreement with no user intervention). I tried the following ways
1. In Shell Script : expect -re "Do you agree to License"
Send - yes/r
2.. Ran from command line: /jre.bin -acceptlicense=yes
3. Ran from command line : ./jre.bin -silent
Above options did not work, let me know whether we have any other option ?

On your oracle installation CD , there will be directory disk1/stage/response .. In this directory you can find the response file that can be used for installation. Just edit the file to provide the values for ORACLE_HOME , ORACLE_SID , Type of Installation into it. Setup the env for ORalce installation . After creating the necessary directories and preparing the operating system for installation , You can use the following command to install Oracle in Silent mode.
./runInstaller -silent -responseFile /disk1/media/response/10gR2.rsp

The easiest way to create a response file is by starting the wizard, filing in the blanks on all pages and save the result before the wizard asks you to install. Just stop here.

Install JRE in silent mode using batch script

hi,
i hav developed a java application which i want to run on another pc where jre is not available. i want to install jre along with my java application by using batch script.
please give the sample script code so that i can execute batch script on client machine.( i am currently using jre 1.6).
Thanks in advance,
Prashant.

It is not supported at this time. I believe it will be around in 3.1... but that's out in the future. Von or Svetlana might be able to give more insight.
CPO install is pretty quick, are you trying to do mass installs or something?

Detecting and Installing JRE

Hello
I'm a setup developer, and I'm tryng to detect from my setup program if the JRE is installed, all that by code, searching the registry whatever, then if it's not installed launch a Silent mode installation of JRE, But I don't know how to do it
How you can detect the installed JRE ?
How you can install JRE in silent mode?
Thanks

Can you detect JRE ?
The answer is yes. You have to read the registry and look for the uninstall string ( if you are using the 1.5.0 beta1 that got released today ) this is the registry value
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{3248F0A8-6813-11D6-A77B-00B0D0150000}
and the string is
MsiExec.exe /I{3248F0A8-6813-11D6-A77B-00B0D0150000}
look for these registry keys and you have detected the JRE
Is there a silent installation ?
Yes the command is
<jre>.exe /S /V" /qn"

You can probably cobble together a perl script
using [Win32::Registry::File|http://search.cpan.org/~avatar/Win32-Registry-File-1.10/File.pm]
and the information here.
You would have to make perl available on a shared drive.

JRE "silent" installation

Hi,
I need to install JRE (Windows 2000 Server) in "silent" modus (without user interaction).
The comand line paramters from this example:
j2re-1_4_2_06-windows-i586-p.exe /s /v/qn IEXPLORER=1
ADDLOCAL=ALL UPDATE=1 /L C:\jre.log
don�t seem to work (no installation process at all).
Does someone have any idea or hints / tricks ?
Thanks in advance for answers.

You can download a 1.4.2_06 executable self-install version from http://www.consultingcommandos.com
Register at the site and download "JRE 1.4.2_06 silent install". The file is called "sun-jre-windows-i586.exe"

'''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.

Install JRE 1.5.12 in the PI 7.0 server

Hi Gurus,
We are planning to install JRE 1.5.12 in the PI 7.0 server with Service Pack 11, whereas currently it is 1.4.2.
Please note we will not remove the 1.4.2 version from the PI Server but will add this new version as well. What will be impact of installing JRE 1.5.12.
Regards
R.Ragu

Hi,
When you install the 1.5.12 , this will over write the 1.4.2, ther will not any problem while installation.
once you do this 1.5.12 will be in use and if u have java version greater than 1.4.2, some mapping icons will not be in active and runtime problems can occur

Java Web Start Version 1.0 doesn't found installed JRE

I would like to try some demos from http://java.sun.com/products/javawebstart/demos.html
After I clicked on image receive next page with message "In order to launch the requested application, you will need to download Java Web Start Version 1.0 - This installation is a one-time process."
And after click "Download now" me propose download JSE and install.
But I already have installed JRE!
This is from command line java -version:
java version "1.6.0_03"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_03-b05)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.6.0_03-b05, mixed mode)
I have try from opera and firefox.

set JAVA_HOME to jdk and not jre.JAVA_HOME is for other applications to find the java libraries inside jdk

Install JRE and OpenJDK Side-by-Side [Unecessary - So Solved]

As far as I know this is impossible, but if there is a way to install JRE and OpenJDK side-by-side, that would be great.
The reason I would like this is that there is a specific webserver I access that simply will not work with OpenJDK. It's a known issue that may or may not be fixed any time soon. On the other hand, I would like to install freeCAD, but this depends on OpenJDK and not JRE.
So as of right now, there is no way for me to have freeCAD installed and access this webserver. Now if JRE and OpenJDK were installed side by side, then this wouldn't be a problem. The other option, is letting users install freeCAD with and OpenJDK or JRE dependency, whichever best suits them.
Is anybody else in a similar boat as this?

Where do you see this requirement? I don't see anything that specifically depends on openjdk6. The only java deps I see are in opencascade. It depends on java-runtime and makedepends on java-environment, which can be satisfied by jre + jdk.
When I went to install, it was forcing me to install OpenJDK and uninstall JRE.

Insufficient memory error while installing JRE 1.2.2

At the moment I am having some problems installing JRE 1.2.2 on a HP proliant DL380 G3 machine (with two XEON 2.8Gb processors) with windows 2000 SP 3 installed. The error is �Insufficient memory available to run setup. Close any programs�.. bla bla. Error 111�. While the machine has 4Gb of memory installed and only 200mb is in use.
I have tried 1.2.2.011 (Pentium 4 bug solved) and 1.2.2.014, both with the same result. Unfortunaly I need the 1.2.2 and can�t �switch� to version 1.3 or 1.4.
PS I also experienced almost the same problem while installing Oracle 8.1.7 on the same machine. And solved this by renaming symcjit.dll to symcjit.old and use the next installation options : JRE_MEMORY_OPTIONS=-nojit -ms64m -mx128m
Has anyone seen this problem and solved it or is there any way to give some additional options to the JRE installer?
Thanks in advance,
Frank Zomerdijk

I found a bug report at: http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4643265.html
And there by the "work a round";
In order to install j2ee onto your server (with 4Gb or more) you might use one of those:
1) Pull some DIMMs out of your server till the memory is less
than 4g. Install j2ee and than put the DIMMs back.
2) Install j2ee on the other machine and than just copy
installed directories over to your server.
I will test the second option tomorrow.

J2sdk-1_4_2_04-windows-i586-p.exe didn't install JRE correctly.

I realize that j2sdk-1_4_2_04-windows-i586-p.exe didnt install JRE probably.
Server folder which is used for Java HotSpot Server VM was not found in C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2_04\bin.
Hence, i need to manually copy the folder D:\j2sdk1.4.2_04\jre\bin\server to JRE location.
I was wondering is this the correct way to do so? anyone of u have encounter this problem before?
thank you.
regards
yancheng

If a previous version of the JRE is installed, remove the previous JRE and install the j2sdk 1.4.2_04 JRE.
