Install JRE w/o removing other JREs

I am building a Java application to be deployed on servers that live on an isolated network (i.e. not on the internet). I have very little information about the configuration of these machines, other than the OS which is XP, so I want to bundle a JRE installer in my application installer. I downloaded the latest JRE installer, jre-6u17-windows-i586.exe, to see if it could be installed from the command line or batch script. No problem with this. My issue is that the JRE uninstalls any existing versions of the 1.6 JRE. This may cause problems for existing applications on the workstations. How can I install the JRE without removing other JREs?

Gilli61 if you don't have a qualifying previous version then it would not be possible to install the upgrade.  For the best assistance, I recommend our chat support at http://adobe.ly/tuMwkC.  Our chat representatives can provide a personalized experience to resolve the issue you have described.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • Trying to install JRE 7u7

    Hello,
    I'm trying to install JRE 7u7 x64 and am having a few problems.
    I can run the installer and its fine until it begins to install. Then an error message appears saying:
    "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable."
    It is referring to "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk 1.7.0_02\\", which doesn't exist on my computer.
    It then comes up with Error 1714:
    "The older version of Java 7 Update 7 cannot be removed."
    The installer then quits.
    Because of this I cannot run any .jar files at the moment.
    Is there any way I can fix this and install a working JRE?
    I've successfully installed the JDK 7u7 x64 and u2 previously.
    I had JRE which worked OK before this but it suddenly stopped. I'm afraid I'm not sure whether it was 7u2 or version 6.
    Thanks for any help.

  • Cannot install JRE 1.6u7

    Hello,
    I recently formatted my hard drive and after reinstalling Windows XP SP2, I am having problems installing JRE on my system.
    These are two different types:
    1. When I double-click the offline installation file [version 6 update 7, newly downloaded], nothing happens. The process shows up in the task manager for a few seconds, and then disappears completely. No further procedure takes place.
    2. I observed that doing the above mentioned step leaves the installation MSI file at the location "C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\Sun\Java\jre1.6.0_07\jre1.6.0_07.msi". If I double-click on this particular file, the installation starts without problem, but gives an error at the end.
    The error is: "bin\java-rmi.exe: Old File not found. However, a file of the same name was found. No update done since file contents do not match."
    After that, the installation gets canceled and it then it gives another error message - this one about the MSI package - Error 1722 to be precise.
    "Error 1722.There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor."
    Then it does the revert back procedure, which actually doesn't revert anything. All files created remain on the hard drive.
    The log file at "C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Temp\MSI30af4.LOG" mentions the following:
    "Error 1722.There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor. Action patchjre, location: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Java\Update\Base Images\jre1.6.0.b105\patch-jre1.6.0_07.b06\patchjre.exe, command: -s "C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_07\"
    === Logging stopped: 7/15/2008 23:07:43 ==="
    I went to java.com and tried the various solutions mentioned there, but none of them seem to work. I even tried to install an older version of JRE, but with the same result.
    I sincerely hope you can help me troubleshoot the problem.
    Thanks in advance,
    Levi Smith.

    The first time I tried to install, it was on a freshly formatted hard drive and a freshly installed OS. So there was no such directory present. After that, however, I tried the installation after removing all the previously created files, cleaning the registry, etc. So again that directory was not present by my reckoning.
    Oh, and I also tried to install in a different folder - C:\Java or D:\Java, etc. but with same result.
    Do you need any more details to solve this mystery?

  • Installing JRE 6u12 uninstalls 6u10 & 6u11 but not 6u07 or earlier - why?

    G'day,
    I've noticed that installing JRE 6u12 (on Windows Vista) removes JRE 6u10 and JRE 6u11 but not the versions prior to 6u10, i.e. 6.0 though 6u7.
    In part this would seem to be due to the default installation directory for JREs 6u10+ being C:\Program Files\Java\jre, whereas for 6u07- it's C:\Program Files\Java\JRE1.6.0_NN
    This seems a fairly superficial reason - is it something to do with the new features introduced in JRE 6u10, e.g. the "next generation" Java Plug-In? I can't find this behaviour documented anywhere so would be interested to understand this new policy and its motivation.
    Thanks,
    Chris.

    After Java6 update 10 there is now a patch in place that upgrades the current version to the new version. This can be turned off I believe if you want. Earlier versions would still need to be removed manually.

  • Installed jre and jdk and setup environment  variable

    installed jre and jdk and setup environment variable but still i am not able to rum program?
    cannot find symbol class string
    package system does not exist

    if removing 1 jre will help your disk space problems
    then you urgently need a bigger disk.
    Btw i never notice Java installing 2 different JRE's
    so i dont think it will harm remvong one, make sure
    you dont delete one you are using :)I assume that you don't run MS os; that's the only one that installs 2 JRE's.
    To OP: This has been discussed by Sun, but no changes have been announced. Maybe the relocation in version 1.5 of the private (aka developer) code to the Program Folder is a start of this change?

  • 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).

  • 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
    Example:
    JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_05

  • 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.

  • 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"

  • 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.

  • WebStart not recognizing installed jre

    I have problem with WebStart - I'm not able to run ANYTHING with my installed jres.
    I have two JREs installed. One is 1.4.0rc, second 1.4.1beta1. Yes, I know that both of them are not final releases, but there should be a way to run webstart app even with them, doesn't it ?
    I'm using
    <j2se version="1.4*"/>
    No luck. I have also tried 1.4+, 1.4.0-rc, 1.4.1-beta - every time it dumps out.
    Web start is taken from 1.4.1beta1 (which means it is 1.2beta).
    javaws.cfg follows
    javaws.cfg.jre.0.platform=1.4
    javaws.cfg.jre.0.location=http\://java.sun.com/products/autodl/j2se
    javaws.cfg.jre.0.product=1.4.0-rc
    javaws.cfg.jre.2.path=c\:\\java\\jre1.4.1b1\\bin\\javaw.exe
    javaws.cfg.jre.2.platform=1.4

    javaws.cfg.jre.2.product=1.4.1-beta
    Table in WebStart preferences:
    1.4     1.4.0-rc     http://java.sun.com/products/autodl/j2se     C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.0-rc\bin\javaw.exe     true
    1.4     1.4.1-beta     http://java.sun.com/products/autodl/j2se     c:\java\jre1.4.1b1\bin\javaw.exe     true
    Has anybody any idea what is happening ?

    The easiest thing to do is to run the application amanger, go to preferences/java and edit the lines that say
    1.4.0-rc and 1.4.1-beta. You can change them directly in the table to say 1.4.0 and 1.4.1 and then javaws will think they are fcs versions.
