JRE 8 update 25 installation ALWAYS Static??

Hi everyone,
I'm in the process of creating a deployment package for Java 8 update 25. By default, Java 6 and 7 would install in Program Files\Java\jreX (x being the family, so jre6, jre7). Unless you specified STATIC=1, ONLY THEN would it install in program Files\Java\jrefullversion.
But now, with Java 8, whatever I do, it will ALWAYS install in C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_25 INSTEAD of C:\Program Files\Java\jre8 , which should be default.
SO...what the deal?
I've tried everything, STATIC=0, STATIC=Disable, in the command line, in the MSI Properties, in a CFG file passed in the install command line. NOTHING WORKS.
This means everytime we upgrade Java, it will install an additional version of java instead of upgrading the already present one.
Can anyone help? Is this "working as designed" ??if so, what's the thinking behind that?

Have you specified the directory?
Installing With a Configuration File
Note that in the above doco, INSTALL_DIR doesn't work. Use INSTALLDIR instead.
The point about the previous installation being left on the machine even when STATIC=Disable is set is something I'm trying to get to the bottom of as well.

JRE 6 update 11 installs via GPO but fails in Internet Explorer

The problems I am experiencing are a bit different than those I've read about here and elsewhere. I am installing JRE 1.6.0.11 to WinXP clients via group policy. The installation itself appears to work OK but when I go to test Java I am finding that IE 7 reports that Java is not installed. When I check Firefox there is no problem.
In IE I have made sure that Java is activated in Advanced Options, have cleared the cache (repeatedly) and have checked out the Java control panel to make all appears to be correct.
I found that Java downloaded and installed directly onto my test machine does run as expected.
I compared registry entries with a second test machine where Java was downloaded directly, installed and functions as expected. Found a few differences but changing the registry on first test machine to mimic the registry on the second machine did not solve the problem.
I also tried a few suggestions from appdeploy.com.
So far, nothing seems to help. I am guessing that some file is failing to register properly when the installed is pushed by GPO.
Has anyone had any similar experiences? Suggestions anyone?
Thanks
Cliff

Possibly Java's new "patch-in-place" for the JRE that became effective with updates from 6u10 to later versions is involved. JRE updates by default will update the existing JRE rather than installing an additiona JRE. See [http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/jweb/otherFeatures/jre_install.html]

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.

Disable JRE Auto Updates

We are looking to deploy and manage JRE across all machines on our network using SCCM 2012 R2. So far, we've created a transform file setting AUTOUPDATECHECK and JAVAUPDATE to 0. This doesn't appear to be working or it just doesn't remove the checkbox "Check for Updates Automatically" in the Java Control Panel. We do not want to make changes in the registry to work around this. Any body have any suggestions or know a way to disable automatic updates during installation using a config or transform file?

Try the "AUTO_UPDATE=Disable" parameter instead.
From here: Installing With a Configuration File
When I run the offline 8u25 install exe with a config file, the Java control panel has the "Check for Updates Automatically" option on the Update tab is unchecked.
My config file has these entries:
     INSTALL_SILENT=Enable
     AUTO_UPDATE=Disable
     STATIC=Disable
     WEB_ANALYTICS=Disable
     REBOOT=Disable
When I run the offline 8u25 install msi with these switches: AUTO_UPDATE=Disable STATIC=Disable WEB_ANALYTICS=Disable NORESTARTMENU=Enable REBOOT=Disable
the Java control panel doesn't even show the Update tab.
I see the JAVAUPDATE and AUTOUPDATECHECK values in the msi, but I'm not sure if they are used anymore.

Can not install JRE since Update 23 on Windows 7 x64

There's something different with JRE since update 23. I can install until update 22 just fine, but update 23 and 24 just does not install. I always install with offline installer. I have the error from event manager

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.

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.

Having problem with "windows on top" in jre 6 update 12

I'm having issue with the jre 6 update 12 with our Swing application. It works fine with update 11. The issue is that my JFrame is somehow getting set to be "always on top" once I've opened an closed a modal dialog from that JFrame. Here is the steps:
1) Open a JFrame (note the "alwaysOnTop" is not set to true).
2) Click on a button which will open a modal dialog.
3) While the dialog is open click on the underlying JFrame (nothing happens as modal dialog is blocking it).
4) Now close the dialog and suddenly the parent JFrame is now set to be always on top. This won't happen if I didn't click on the parent JFrame while the dialog was open.
Has anyone else encountered this issue with jre 6 update 12? I'm really puzzled as to why this is happening. There is nothing in the release note to suggest there has been any change in this area in this release. Any help would be much appreciated?

Update and installation problems

I am having issues with Creative Cloud updates and installations.
None of my Apps will update. I am prompted to update, I click the update button, Cloud says "updating software" but all attempts stop at 0%.
Similar issues Installing Apps. Installations start but all stop at 90%. No error messages at all.
This is extremely frustrating and all my Apps are in need of updates to fix minor bugs which are effecting my workflow.
Can you help?

We can't know. You have not provided any exact system info or other details like the install/ update logs. You can always run the cleaner and start from scratch.

Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate with Update 4 Installation Hangs on "Windows Software Development Kit" step

Hi,
I am attempting to install Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate with Update 4 on a Windows 2008 Server R2 machine that also has Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate already installed.
Unfortunately, the installation always hangs on the "Windows Software Development Kit" step. I have let it run overnight and the installation process never gets past this step. I always have to just kill the process, and uninstall.
I have validated the checksum of the ISO, run the .exe as administrator, and also tried to install the software to both the C and D drive.
I have also tried to run the installation with all of the optional components checked as well as with none of the optional components checked.
In addition, I have uninstalled visual studio 2013 using the /uninstall /force command
I have examined the log files produced at C:\Users\MYNAME\AppData\Local\Temp and I dont see anything obviously wrong.
Here are the last few lines of the dd_vs_ultimate_20150109195533_225_Windows_SDK_Desktop.log file

Does anyone have any ideas of why this is happening? Are there any specific log files I could provide to help pinpoint the problem?
Thanks
Thomas

Hello Thomas,
"I have validated the checksum of the ISO" Do you mean you have used this page
http://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/downloads/visual-studio-2013-iso-sha1-vs.aspx# to verify your ISO?
Please send your full logs to me by use http://aka.ms/vscollect . After using it, you will find vslogs.cab from %temp% folder. Please upload the file to
https://skydrive.live.com/
and share the link here.
Actually you can refer to the following page to troubleshoot Windows SDK issue:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee248512(v=vs.100).aspx
The recommend way is to manually install Windows SDK itself and check the logs in detail.

I cant update my mibile always i got the same message. An error occurrd during updating and sime times cannot establish connection ?!!!!

Hi Martha Leal Tapia,
Yes this issue was resolved. I had to add the below two parameters in the instance profile and continue the installation.
icm/server_port_1 = PROT = P4, PORT = 5$(SAPSYSTEM)04, HOST = <full hostname as in the /etc/hosts file>
icm/host_name_full=<full hostname as in the /etc/hosts file>
Note 1158626 P4 connection to ICM on machine with multiple IPs fails.
You can refer following SAPnote # 609603 for the above concepts although this refers to old release."
Thanks and regards

Jdk/jre 6 update 25 probably misconfigured install

In the weekend I have downloaded the jdk 6 update 25 from the oracle website . During the install it replaced the jdk and jre 6 update 24 that I had on the computer . My configuration is win 7 professional 64 bit and I installed java 32 bit version . I alredy had netbeans 7 installed . On each run of netbeans it says 'Invalid jdkhome specified' 'Cannot locate java installation in specified jdkhome:\n C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk.1.6.0_24\n Doyou want to try to use the default version?' . When I answer yes it finds the jkd 6 update 25 location and works ok . Also google chrome finds the jre . But firefox fails to find the jre so I have no java in firefox which is my main browser . I observed that when I reinstall the jdk firefox finds the new jre immediately after the reinstallation . But when restarting firefox it behaves as if there is no java plugin and also after rebooting the system the next day . It would be nice if someone could check what is wrong with this situation on side of the jkd/jre automatic configuratin after the install/reinstall .

Adobe CreativeCloud zeigt Updates an - Installation unmöglich.

Adobe CreativeCloud zeigt Updates an - Installation unmöglich.
Die Installation startet und bricht dann irgendwann zum Ende mit einer Fehlermeldung ab.
Wird das Programm CreativeCloud dann direkt heruntergeladen und gestartet (egal ob normal, oder als Admin), bricht die Installation wieder mit einer Fehlermeldung ab.
Die Meldung lautet:
Folgende Probleme sind aufgetreten: Creative Cloud Desktop konnte nicht installiert werden.
Es ist auch egal, ob eine Firewall läuft oder nicht.
Es ist nur möglich, auf Abbr. zu klicken.
Liebe Leute von Adobe, ich bin echt *GENERVT*.
Diese ganze Cloudsache kostet micht mehr Zeit als mir lieb ist.
Das Programm auf dem Rechner soll einfach nur laufen und nicht ständig mit einem solchen Mist nerven.
Hat da einer eine Lösung?
Wird an einem Update für das Update gearbeitet?
*grummel*

Drüber bügeln und nochmal probieren. Klar ist die Situation nervig, aber ich glaube, die Wand anschreien wäre fast effektiver als auf Besserung von Adobe zu hoffen. Da brauchst du nix erwarten. Der Haufen Kacke dampft noch 'n Weilchen weiter vor sich hin...

Warning message by JRE 7 update 21

Hello sir,
On installing jre 7 update 21 I get the unknown publisher message eventhough my jar file signed.As part of solution I tried to include the Attributes "Trusted-Only: true" as well "Trusted-Library: true"
in the manifest file.After adding the those attributes to manifest file I again signed the jar file still I get that Unknown publisher message.
Please help How to reslove the issue.
If adding those attributes is the only solution then could anybody please tell me the correct process how to add those attribute to manifest file and how to merge the changes to the jar file.
Detailed explanation would really help me to get rid of this issue.
Thanks in advance
Amit

Oracle tightened the thumb screws in update 21, up to a point where people are starting to have their fingers broken if you ask me.
https://www.java.com/en/download/faq/signed_code.xml
It may just be that what you get is expected behavior due to self-signing.

JRE 7 update 45

Hi,
After updating jre 7update 45 my applet is not working.The applet is signed with the trusted certificate.
Also accrding to release notes I have added the attributes
Permissions : all-permissions
codebase : *
Application-Name : Display
Application-Library-Allowable-Codebase : *
Caller-Allowable-Codebase : *
After adding the attribute I again siged the jar file using the same trusted certificate we have been using.
Still it gives some blue shield warning message.
Is there a bug in jre 7update 45.Or I am missing something because of which it is not working.
Is there any solution for suppressing these security warnings.

This is resolved and jar file is working fine without any warning message.
What I did is.I added the below attrributes to my jar file
Codebase : *
Permissions: all-permissions
Application-Allowable-Library-Codebase : *
Caller-Allowable-Codebase : *
I added these attributes by extracting the jar file contents through winzip.
After this I signed the jar file again with new trusted certificate anded used the following cermgr Command
to include the certificate in ROOT and trusted publisher
certmgr.exe -add <path of the certificate> -s -r localMachine ROOT
certmgr.exe -add <path of the cetificate> -s -r localMachine trustedpublisher
This made my jar file working fine with jre 7 update 45.

MBSA Windows Update Agent installation

I'm implementing MBSA on our domain. I've worked through the various firewall issues, etc. Next I received a Security Update Scan Result that "Computer has an older version of the client and security database demands a newer
version. Current version is and minmum required version is ." This is pasted directly from the screen. It appears information is missing from the message.
Based on research of the message, I reran the scan with the "Configure computers for Microsoft Update and scanning prerequisites" option selected. Then I get the result "Windows Update Agent installation succeeded.Restart
the target computer to have Windows Update Agent updated completely." Scanning the computer after a restart just repeats the same results. Looking in the WindowsUpdate.log on the target computer, there are messages stating that 3
CBS packages were evaluated and that each is not applicable. "WUESTUP has finished. Exit code is 0. Reboot is NOT needed." I have checked and the
wuaueng.dll version is 7.6.7600.256, which I believe is the latest.
I have seen this result on multiple Windows 7 computers I have tested. None have worked so far. What is causing MBSA to report one thing and the target to indicate something else?
Ken Kemp Eddy County, NM IT

At this point, no. Since I didn't turn up an answer here, I've had to set this aside for more pressing matters. I hope to get back to it at some point soon.
If you are fortunate enough to find an answer, please be sure to share it here.
