Java does not update older version when installing from MSI file

I'm using an MSI file of Java because it's easier for deploying through SCCM. Anyway when I do everything works fine except it does not update older versions of Java. So for instance if I have Java 7 update 7 and install Java 7 update 21 using the MSI file I'll then have two versions of Java installed on my computer. Anybody know a way to install using the MSI file where it updates older versions of Java (as long as it's the same major revision) like the exe would?

Yes same problem here. I had a successful rollout with the MSI package and version 1.7 Update 17 on 1500 computers!
I packaged the Update 21 and on my first test-clients the control panel crashes when I try to open it. But the setup ends successful without any error code all eventviewer entries are successful and it seems that the environment is running. Firefox plugintest was successful.
Why doesn't offer Orcale the MSI files?! Since last year Java cost me o lot of time deploying Java. There is no update which you can release quickly because there are always bugs to deploy them.

  • Control panel error when installing from MSI file with JRE 7 update 21

    When I install JRE from the MSI file that I get from the user folder I get an error then I try to start Java Control Panel. Java applications works ok but I cant start the Control panel. If I uninstall Java and install it by executing the offline exe file the installation works fine and the control panel also works.

  • Firefox does not appear on screen when started from the start menu, but task manager says the process is running

    Firefox does not appear on screen when started from the start menu or the shortcuts, but task manager says the process is running.

    No - I get the message basically saying "Can't run program while Firefox is running. Please close down Firefox & try again".
    I rebooted my computer and it all works now - but that's weird it was happening before. Kinda weirded out that it happened at all.
    To avoid that happening again, I still wanna know what to do to avoid it or fix it for next time. Thanks

  • Adobe Reader 9.5.1 does not recognise older version of Flash Plugin 10.3.183.18 it requires 11.2

    I have a problem in upgrading Adobe Reader to 9.5.1 as it is not recognising older version of Flash Plugin 10.3.183.18 and it prompts the user to download and install Flash Player 11.2, this is not the case with Adobe Reader v 10.1.3 as it works fine with 10.3.183.18
    My Firm is not ready to rollout Flash player 11.2 , is there any work around or a fix available to fix this issue , does anyone know which API is responsible for this Flash content

    Hi,
    This was an intended change along with Reader 9.5.1. This new strategy simplifies Acrobat and Reader deployments by reducing the number of future required updates should a security issue arise. Moreover, you can now manage and update Acrobat products and Flash individually.
    Please refer to the following release note document for the 9.5.1 release for more information regarding the same:

  • Final Cut Studio 2: needing to update older version before install

    I am trying to install FCS 2 upgrade from FCS, but it tells me I have an older version and that it "needs to be updated" before I can continue. The manual says that "To avoid compatibility issues, the Final Cut Studio installer requires you to update all Final Cut Studio applications to the version included with Final Cut Studio 2." I am not sure what this means, since I am just now installing FCS 2. I've read the messages here about upgrading from FCP 5.0.4, my FCP version, to 5.1 via a crossgrade on disks from Apple. Does this mean that I need to buy this crossgrade before I can finish the upgrade to FCS 2? This requirement is not listed on the FCS 2 box, but I can't seem to find anything else that would "update" my older version. And is this true for each of the other applications in the suite?
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    No, you don't need to buy the crossgrade. I just updated the PPC version of FCS to FCS2 yesterday. (I had transferred these applications over to my new Intel Mac from a G5 even though I knew they wouldn't run on the Intel Mac until I could update with the Universal version). What I did end up having to do was to manually delete everything from the PPC installation (applications, preferences, application support files, etc.). Then install from the FCP2 disks, having your old FCP registration number ready to enter in the dialogue box that comes up when you try to upgrade. While the installer says you are upgrading, in fact it installs the new universal versions of the applications.

  • APSB11-05 Does not update the version of ActiveX flash plugin in Add and Remove Programs

    After installing the latest update for flash player and ActiveX flash plugin the version of adobe flash plugin remains with the old version, when it actually updated the plugin. The only way to get it to update is by removing previous version and do a clean install. This can certainly affect our software inventories.
    Is anybody else experiencing this?
    Thank you in advance

    Hi, It has always been recommended to Uninstall any current version of Flash Player prior to Installing the update.
    Flash Player doesn't "add" to what is already there, it's a complete new version.
    I'm not clear on your setup or software inventories. Perhaps some more information would help.
    Thanks,

  • SWF linked by reference in FM does not update in RH when FM files are updated

    Hi all, using TCS2 on WindowsXP.
    I have a FM book with a Captivate SWF linked by reference. When I link my FM book into RH, all works nicely. But here's the catch - when I change something in my Cativate project and re-publish the swf (to update the old swf), although the FM SWF updates to the new one, RH does not. The SWF found in RH is the one from the original instance of linking the FM book.  This is an issue as it seems to be hampering my 'single sourcing' world.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks,
    Adriana

    HI there
    Are you able to just delete the SWF from RoboHelp? I'm thinking that if you could do that, the SWF would simply have to update from FM as it wouldn't be found any longer.
    I do realize it's a kludge and things should simply just *WORK*, but we do live in an imperfect world.
    Cheers... Rick

  • New Mac Book Pro does not ask for password when waking from sleep

    I've noticed that several others are having this problem. I have tried all of the suggestions on the other posts and have had no luck getting it to work.
    I have it set to "require password to wake this computer from sleep or screensaver".
    When I wake the computer in the morning it requires a password but if I wake it after and hour or two it does not. I have my screensaver set to turn on after 4 minutes but it never asks for a password when when I come back to my computer.
    I think this is a bug and Apple should deal with it in a security update.
    I'm open to any more suggestion though.
    Thanks,
    Tevadar

    FYI, you can also lock your screen manually if you like. Launch Applications > Utilities > Keychain Access, select Keychain Access menu > Preferences > General tab, and check the box to "Show Status in Menu Bar." That places a padlock icon in your menu bar, and clicking on that will give you the option to Lock Screen.

  • Reader 11 not uninstalling previous versions when installed via GPO MSI

    I donwloaded the Reader 11 msi, patched it to 11.0.1, then with the version 11 customization wizard told it uninstall previous versions of Reader. When I push the transformed msi via a gpo it installs 11 and all of the other setting I set in the transform, like suppress EULA are applied, but Reader 10 still exists after the install.
    Whats going on?

    You can try using this tool to remove all traces of previous versions of Reader:

  • SetRegion does not update the region when the current one is slightly diff.

    I'm working on some iPhone MapKit code which fires off some events when the boundaries of the map change (basically some queries to an external server). There is one edge case I can't seem to solve. When users enter a new address I use setRegion to zoom in on that location and afterwards I compute the bounds of the map and query my external server with those coordinates. I always call setRegion however, there is one edge case when it will not fire. That, is, when a user magically happens to select the exact same address that lies at the current center of the map, when that map is zoomed to exactly the same region. Of course this possibility is rare but it is easy achievable in code.
    This would be the equivalent of allowing the user to drop a pin at the center of the current map and fire off a query to my server based on that. Unfortunately because the code logic depends on the region changing (which I've done so that users can easily pan around the map and not have to explicitly press a refresh button), I need a work around. How can I know when setRegion has been called but it won't fire regionWillChange / regionDidChange. Can I override the function some how?
    As a work around I tried to detect when the region wouldn't change by writing code just before I set the region to compare the new region's center coordinates and span values to that of the current map region's.
    Unfortunately when I set the search Location to be the center of the current map I get the following results:
    diff in latitude of center 0.000000
    diff in longitude of center 0.000016
    diff in latitude span -0.000000
    diff in longitude span 0.000000
    In different cases the error is slightly different but generally speaking even when the region is slightly different like this setRegion or morever, regionDidChange, do not fire. Can anyone explain why? Or how I could go about detecting this properly. Note: I also tried with mapView.centerCoordinate but I get similar errors, and I only want to know when the region will NOT change (if the centerCoordinate is the same the zoom level / region can still be different).

    I realized the code was not included. That should make my question clearer
    CLLocation *centerOfMap = [[CLLocation alloc] initWithLatitude:mapView.centerCoordinate.latitude longitude:mapView.centerCoordinate.longitude];
    mySearchLocation.searchLocation = centerOfMap;
    //Recenter and zoom map in on search location
    MKCoordinateRegion region = {{0.0f, 0.0f}, {0.0f, 0.0f}};
    region.center = mySearchLocation.searchLocation.coordinate;region.span.longitudeDelta = 0.01f;
    region.span.latitudeDelta = 0.01f;
    [self.mapView setRegion:region animated:YES];
    And:
    //Recenter and zoom map in on search location
    MKCoordinateRegion region = {{0.0f, 0.0f}, {0.0f, 0.0f}};
    region.center = mySearchLocation.searchLocation.coordinate;
    region.span.longitudeDelta = 0.01f;
    region.span.latitudeDelta = 0.01f;
    region = [mapView regionThatFits:region]; //Not sure if this is necessary
    NSLog(@"diff in latitude of center %f", (mapView.region.center.latitude - region.center.latitude));
    NSLog(@"diff in longitude of center %f", (mapView.region.center.longitude - region.center.longitude));
    NSLog(@"diff in latitude span %f", (mapView.region.span.latitudeDelta - region.span.latitudeDelta));
    NSLog(@"diff in longitude span %f", (mapView.region.span.longitudeDelta - region.span.longitudeDelta));
    [self.mapView setRegion:region animated:YES];

  • Photoshop CC: Save For Web function does not update filesize previews when I change filetypes

    I recently tried to save some web banners and wanted to optimize for smallest filesize with best looking output, and as I changed filetypes from Gif to Jpeg to PNG, the preview at the bottom of the window that usually updates with estimated filesize was not changing and the preview image would not change as well. The issue made it impossible to predict the output and required that I actually save in all the variations, then reopen them to see the end result.
    My software is up to date.
    Not really sure what it can be.
    Please help.

  • ICal does not update the organizer when moving items between calendars

    I have two calendars: Exchange 2007 and CalDAV.
    If I organize a meeting in my Exchange calendar, and later on notice that it is in the wrong calendar, move it to my CalDAV calendar, iCal forgets to update the organizer correctly.
    The organizer after moving is "invalid:nomail". The consequence of this is that I can no longer edit that item as I'm "not the organizer". Moving the item back to my Exchange calendar is impossible for the very same reason.
    All I can do after moving is delete and start over. Anyone experiencing the same problem?

    Also, you can't move the event to a different calendar if you're not the organizer.
