Problem on JRE 6u13 deployment silently

Question

Hello,
I am having an issue when deploying jre-6u13 to my clients silently. If users are logged in and have any IE open, the install prompts them to close the browsers before it will continue.
This is the command line I am using to deploy JRE 6u13 silently.
jre-6u13-windows-i586-p-s.exe /s ADDLOCAL=ALL IEXPLORER=1 MOZILLA=1 REBOOT=Supress
Is there any method to solve this issue in order to avoid user interaction?
B. regards,
Rick

BTW, you can always kill IE using the following command (this works on MS Windows XP and Windows Server 2003, don't know for other systems):
taskkill /im iexplore.exe /fActually the deployment is best done by a Windows startup script.
E.g. put the following lines in a .cmd file and make it run at system startup by cmd.exe.
rem - This script installs Java SE Runtime Environment (JRE).
rem - Successfully tested on MS Windows XP Professional SP3.
eventcreate /l application /so "%~n0%~x0" /t information /id 1 /d "Starting %~f0"
rem - Directory path of this script.
set p=%~d0%~p0
rem - Exit the script if the log file exists.
set log_file=%systemdrive%\install_jre.log
if exist %log_file% goto :eof
rem - Run the JRE installer silently and create a log file.
rem - (Set another path if the installer is not in the directory of this script)
"%p%jre-6u13-windows-i586-p-s.exe" /log %log_file% /s ADDLOCAL=ALL IEXPLORER=1 MOZILLA=1 REBOOT=Suppress
rem - Disable Java Updater.
reg delete "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run" /v SunJavaUpdateSched /f
eventcreate /l application /so "%~n0%~x0" /t information /id 1 /d "%~f0: Done"
goto :EOFThe script does nothing if the specified log file exists.
The log file is created by the JRE installer at the first invocation of the script.
You can check the log file for installation results and delete it if you want to repeat the installation.
