JRE 8u25 INSTALL_DIR not working

I'm trying to install the JRE 8 (version 8u25) Offline installer jre-8u25-windows-i586.exe on 32-bit Windows 7, using the command line (and INSTALLCFG) options I found in the documentation chapter 17 titled "Windows JRE Installer Options". I have most of the options working, but not the INSTALL_DIR option, not on the command line nor in the INSTALLCFG file. In both cases, it tells me the format of that option is invalid, but not why. And it will not write a log file when I append the /L logfilepath option, either.
Here's what I need to do: I need to force JRE 8u25 to install in %ProgramFiles%\Java\jre8, not in %ProgramFiles%\Java\jre_1.8.0_25, or anything else that is version specific.(This same problem was reported in the discussion here: Where is documentation on how JDK installs on Windows?.) It does not accept this INSTALL_DIR option with or without quotes, with or without a trailing backslash, whether the directory already exists or not, whether I specify the directory as %ProgramFiles%, C:\Program Files, or C:\Progra~1.
So I really need to see some examples of the INSTALL_DIR option, when the target is a folder under %ProgramFiles%. Can anyone provide any working examples? If not, can anyone provide a different way to fix the installation directory? Sande

By trial and error (my least favorite way of troubleshooting), I discovered that the documentation is wrong:
The correct command line option for the installation directory is not INSTALL_DIR but is INSTALLDIR.
Now I wonder what the correct use of the option NOSTARTMENU is, because setting it to 1 or 0 still creates the unwanted Start menu shortcuts.

I have win 7 pro and the download for jre 7u10 does not work on Firefox17, I have installed and uninstalled, but works on internet explorer.

I have uninstalled jre7u10, the latest version of java, and re-installed this several times and it will NOT work on Firefox 17. I have checked that the plugins are downloaded in the add-ons tab and made sure they are Enabled. I have tried disabling every plugin I have on the page, but it still will NOT run on FF 17. So, I have uninstalled jre7u10 in windows control panel. I got the jre7u10 download for windows 7 from the actual java website.
I don't know what else to do. I am totally confused as to why it works on Internet explorer but not Firefox 17. It gives me an error message on a chat window on one of my sites that says error client class not found, But I DON'T get this error when I use Internet explorer because the chat window works with it. HELP PLEASE ???????????
I am not that good with computers so take it easy on me please.
Thanks in advance

I questioned that 64 bit version thing and when I checked the download it sent me to the java version 32 bit for windows 7. The download of jre 32 bit works for my computer on internet explorer but not for firefox 17. I also checked firefox and there is not a 64 bit version browser. so I don't get this at all. anyway, I don't know what a 64 bit vs a 32 bit means but someone asked me to check that too on the site I went to they thought it might be different browser. It's not.

Installing JDK w/ NetBeans 5.5.1 & JRE 6U1 but not working

I downloaded and installed both of these on my Ubuntu Linux Machine. When I tried to execute the netBeans application I got:
'Make sure you have the 'multiverse' component enabled'
This is a completely new IDE and Language for me, so I am just a clueless newbie.
What did I do wrong? Thanks.

I can't really help you with your problem, as i am unfamilar with the install for JDK, but,
I use Eclipse as my IDE.
It is mostly useful for its repository share abilities, and enterprise use.
But, it's free, it works, and its very intelligent.
You can manage projects, dependencies, packages and such, and install components like NetBeans pretty easily.
I'm not sure if thats for you, but you should check it out,

Pluginspage is not working in embed script in firefox 36 version. Actually wanna downlaod jre 1.8 . It was working on firefox 22 version. Please suggest

<pre><nowiki>function createEmbed(divID, context, locale, server,client)
var d = document.getElementById(divID);
d.innerHTML = '<EMBED type="application/x-java-applet;version=1.8" CODE="com.cybertrust.webrao.WebRAOApplet.class"'+
'JAVA_CODEBASE="'+context+'" '+
'ARCHIVE="WebRAO.jar" '+
'NAME="WebRAOApplet" '+
'MAYSCRIPT="true" '+
'pluginspage="http://javadl.sun.com/webapps/download/GetFile/1.8.0_31-b13/windows-i586/xpiinstall.exe"'+
'L="'+locale+'" ' +
'PinTimeout="'+server+'"'+
'ClientTimeout="'+client+'"'+
'separate_jvm="true"'+
'java_version="1.8.0_31" />';
}</nowiki></pre>
We are using the above script. Defined the application/x-java-applet;version=1.8 So. as per the oracle documentation, Firefox has to check whether java version 1.8 or above is available and then run the applet thereby opening the run window and finally the applet window has to open. So the expectation is if 1.8 jre is not available it has to trigger the pluginspage attribute thereby redirecting to the jre autodownload url mentioned in pluginspage. This code use to work for firefox 21. Not sure why it will not work with any of the versions above 21. Right now we are trying with firefox 36. The same code works with IE 11 also. Please suggest is there any solution for the same.

There are some updates happening to [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/]
However to further investigate I would suggest troubleshooting the installation of Java:
*[http://kb.mozillazine.org/Java#Java_Deployment_Toolkit_plugin]
*[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-issues-with-plugins-fix-problems]
Or also checking with Mozillazine or stackoverflow.com for compatibility and development troubleshooting is a good place to also look.

Enforcing JRE version for Applet does not work - 1.4.2

Hi,
Our application (Applet) requires JRE 1.4.2 .
I believe I need to use STATIC VERSIONING as we want the client desktop to ONLY use 1.4.2 for our applet.
So I followed the instructions mentioned in
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/plugin/developer_guide/using_tags.html#in-ie
and
http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/versions.html
But for some reason the JAVA Installer fails to install the package.
It comes back with this pop-up error message:

JRE/JDK 1.3.1_19 Not working with OS Patched Windows 2003 Server DST 2007

Hello:
We are trying to upgrade our 1.3.1_03 application with 1.3.1_19. It worked fine in a machine (WIndows Server 2003) where OS was not patched for DST. However, as far as I could see if the OS is patched the DST compliant java (1.3.1_19) is not working.
I go to the jre/bin and try to do a java -version and I see nothing from OS patched machine.
Non-OS Patched machines, it works and I could see the java version.
Has anybody faced this problem?
Really appreciate any suggestion.
Cheers,
Abdullah

Hey
came across same problem. but dont know for sure if it is the DST patch that is the problem. if you have come across anything further update on the issue let us know.
Cheers

Datek Streamer does not work with JRE 1.3.1_01

I am unable to load the Datek Streamer applet (www.datek.com) when using the JRE 1.3.1_01. I have tried using the JRE with Internet Explorer 5.5 SP2, Netscape 6.2, and Mozilla build 2001112104. In each case, the message "Java applet loading" appears in the space where the applet should display. Then the message disappears, leaving just a blank display area. This problem does not occur with Internet Explorer 5.5 SP2 using the Microsoft JVM.
Any suggestions?

Glad to see I'm not the only one. I've tried JRE 1.4 beta3 on NS 6.2.1 and datek streamer does not work on that setup either. Read through a bunch of the forums and looks like there are some related issues. The two I saw crop up the most were NS 6.x internal embedding issue and a LiveConnect security hazard issue. Not sure if anybody figured out a permanent solution though.
Running Win2K, NS 6.2.1, JRE beta 1.4. Datek Streamer applet dies right after it loads the last file (usually the datek logo gif).
If anyone finds a solution/patch please post.
Thanks

JRE System-level settings does not work - JRE1.6.30

Good day,
I need to set deployment.security.mixcode parameter to "DISABLE" within of deployment.properties configuration file.
Also I wish to place the deployment.properties configuration file is not user-specific path. The default location is
<User Application Data Folder>\Sun\Java\Deployment\deployment.properties.
TO change the default location I read about possibility to use the deployment.config for specifying the System-Level
deployment.properties in the infrastructure.
Unfortunatelly seems does not work. Someone have got experience about system level settings of deployment.properties?
This is the configuration I have used.

Applet work with JRE 7_51 but NOT with JRE 7_45

Hello,
My major problem is, that my Applet signed with COMODO certificate DOES NOT WORK with JRE 7_45.
The SAME applet works fine with JRE 7_45, if I sign this applet WITH A SELFMADE UNTRUSTED certificate.
WHY the comodo signed applet doesn't run in JRE 7_45 ???
If i launch the comodo signed applet with JRE 7_51 it works perfect !!!
But in our company we got JRE 7_45 and I have to deal with JRE 7_45. That’s my problem.
Could you please tell me a solution what I have to do that the comodo signed applet works also in JRE 7_45.
Thank you!
Philipp

Thanks gimbal2.
I agree the problem may be in the proxy or in the firewall but I don' to know how to prove it as if i call the servlet url from browser I dont have problems .
The version im using is 6.45 but im sure the same problem occurs also with other versions of JRE6 .
... and the problem disappear with JRE7 ...
trouble is my company want people to use JRE6
any idea ?

JRE not working in Vista x64?

I have download the latest JRE build 1.5.0.10 x64 and installed it on Vista x64. The installation was very fast and OK while I try to find the java console in the control panel but I can not find it and it was not working which launch firefox to visit some web site which required the JRE.
Anything I could do to fix this?

To the OP, are the disks that you're trying to access visible within the HighPoint array management software? If yes, are they also visible in Windows Disk Management?

Jre-setup.exe /L 1036 does not work

I tried to use "jre-setup.exe /L 1036" to let the installer displayed in French. However, it did not work. I am using Windows XP and the locale is English (Canada).
The installer only displayed in French when i change the locale to French on the PC.
Isn't the command " /L 1036" supposed to let installer displayed in French regardless what the locale of the pc is set to?
Thanks in advance.

I think some developers really got some wrong concepts here...
I have a English version of windows, but my locale set to Chinese for some of the programs I use. This does not mean that I want Java or any of my other programs in Chinese, and I certainly do not want the calendar to be. Recently I installed OpenProj and found a lot of parts including the calendar on the Gant Chart were in Chinese due to JRE taking my system's locale settings. This is all still ok, except for the fact that there is no way to change the language setting. Suggested solution by Sun is to just change the system locale in windows. This is of course not acceptable. Correct solution should be: JRE gets the default setting from the system, but is able to override it with an option.
For those of you who face the same, here is a quick patch which hardcodes the locale instead of getting is from the system:
-This has been done on File version 6.0.50.13 of Java.dll
-Close all programs using Java
-Open a hex editor and open "Java.dll" in "program files/Java/bin" or whereever you installed Java, and go to offset 0x6BD0 (if you have a different version of Java.dll), you can very likely still do a search for the hex values below and find the correct place)
-You will see following values: FF 15 A0 10 32 6D 8B F8 FF 15 A4 10 32 6D 57 89
-Change them to: 68 09 04 00 00 58 8B F8 68 09 04 00 00 58 57 89
^ ^ ^ ^
-You can change the values indicated with ^ to the locale you want JRE to take, please check the link below for all locales.
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms776260(VS.85).aspx
Remember to swap the bytes in the values above ie: 0x0409 (en) -> 0x0904.

The obfuscating tool Dasho not working with jre 1.5

I have a issue that Dasho (newer and old versions )does not work with JDK 1.5 . Earlier we used JDK1.4 version in which it works.
Have anyone faced this issue or worked the dasho please give some idea .

We made the move from DashO to yGuard (for various reasons)
before we made the move from JDK 1.4 to JDK 1.5.
Google suggests DashO supports JDK 1.5, even JDK 1.6; [DashO change log|http://www.preemptive.com/dasho-change-log.html].
Preemptive Solutions offer support.

Forms Web application is not working on FireFox Browser-with java plugin

Hi All,
We are running custom build forms application using forms 10g and application server 10 g Rel 2. We are using Java Plug-in 1.5.0_06. The application is working fine before recent update from firefox .Now it's not working and keep on asking additional plug in required and taking to java.sun.com for installing the plug in. Even after installing when we access the application it will do the same thing. I tried uninstalling the firefox with the older version and with diffrent java plugin versions.. but the problem still there.. any help will be mush appriciated...
Thanks...

Web Analysis is not working

Hi,
I recently installed Hyperion BI+ in my server and I'm trying to do some reports in Web Analyzer.
My installation and configuration went successfull.
I can open FR, IR ..
I'm trying to open WorkSpace and Web Analysis...
both are not working...
When Im trying to open web analysis using the below URL Im getting error..
http://<servername>i:19000/WebAnalysis/WebAnalysis.jsp
but when I'm using this URL http://<Servername>i:16000/WebAnalysis/WebAnalysis.jsp
I can see the open page.. but the Web Analysis window is not coming.. I'm getting blank page...
and for workspace also.. when I'm using 45000 port.. it is working but I cannot open any reports.. some debug error is coming..
when I'm using the default port 19000.. Im getting network error...
Please help me in this issue..
Do I need to do any modifications in my configuration or property files....
my Java application is Tomcat(default).. databases is Oracle 10G Enterprise Edition.

Hi,
Regarding Web Analysis- I believe- It's a problem of JRE.
- Just remove/uninstall the JRE from your Currently installed Programs. You may want to reboot the m/c
- Open Web Analysis Studio in the Web browser. Now, since it can't find JRE, it'll set up the relevant JRE for you & you may continue using Web Analysis.
- Please note- Unless you've changed to a different one during configuration, Web Analysis operates on 16000 port.
Check the following regarding Workspace-
- Your service may be down, thus, throwing Network error
- You may've to re-configure Workspace. Start the service & wait for few mins. before opening Workspace.

Java does not work at all upon using the update manager to update to firefox 3.6.10 for Ubuntu 9.0.4

OS: Ubuntu 9.0.4
Browser: Firefox 3.6.10
upon updating to firefox 3.6.10, java does not work at all.
websites that use java do not work at all anymore, when they worked just fine before the updating thru update manager. e.g. hulu website cannot play any of the shows.
i can give the folder of bookmarked pages i tried.
how to do that on here, i've yet to see if possible.
i can even give saved text from the terminal concerning certain attempts.
when i updated thru update manager, it gave some weird java plugin that wasn't there before "The IcedTea Web Browser Plugin IcedTea6 Java Web Browser Plugin (execution of applets on webpages)".
i uninstalled this as instructed by an answer found in one of the pages i saved, cuz it was conflicting w/another java program the updater said i needed. right now, i don't remember for sure what it was. it perhaps was realplayer flash or Java itself. w/all the hours/days of searching i put in, it's difficult if not downright impossible for me to remember all the specifics of what i tried.
i've searched throughout many webpages (including many searches on mozilla, ubuntu, java, etc) for instruction in fixing the problem.
oh, and incidentally, on the Java site, when i try the verify test of Java, firefox pops up with that yellow bar right below the slew of tabbed website windows, giving the statement "additional plugins are required to display all the media on this page. (w/link to) install missing plugins ." which is what i do, go thru the requesting plugin installation. it comes up with, guess what, the IcedTea Java Plugin. i click on the 'next' in the "Plugin Finder Service" box that pops up, & all it gives me is "No plugins were installed. IcedTea ...Plugin failed. and the link 'find out more about plugins or manually find missing plugins'". the link takes me to some of the very things/plugins that wouldn't install in the first place. the Java test failure is a LOL funny, as what plugin it is saying is required (IcedTea) is a recommended alternate program to display the very test in the first place.
i followed the given instructions on those many searched pages, in every case (barring what i may have just plain missed), but to no avail.
i've even gone to the point of trying to reinstall the previous 3.5.13 firefox version, from mozilla site. even that wouldn't install.
i've tried installing Java for my sys direct from it's site. nada.
now it's time for me to post the problem & perhaps someone will come up with some kind of "dummy" way to fix it.
until then many sites a regularly use are totally useless to me on this fast puter.
the only way i can get to use such sites, are two choices: 1. use a dinosaur laptop, which is slower than molasses & cannot handle to any streaming stuff, or 2. use an available internet access puter at the library. but useage for ea person per day is limited to only one hour a day. and one can end up waiting for an hour or more ( in the busiest periods) to even get to use one.
so, is there anyone at all, who knows any for-sure working fix for this problem?
thanks muchly :^D
p.s. i can't pay anybody any money for such help, as is required in certain sites (e.g. Java website), cuz i don't have any.
i can pay in labor tho, if there is someway to find someone who can physically be at this puter w/me, taking me step-by-step
sorry for the 20-pg essay. i hope it was all clearly understood. if, not, well, clear communication is always what is needed, ask away.

Your above posted system details show outdated plugin(s) with known security and stability risks.
