Silent Install of Java

Hi,
I'm looking for a way to silently install Java SE on linux and solaris platform.
I have find out how to achieve this under windows but i don't find anything on Linux and Solaris.
They must be a solution has when installing Weblogic, JDK is packaged within the distro.
Anyone can help me ?
Kind Regards.

Are talking about a silent install while the user is browsing your website?? That sounds like unwanted software to me!! and users do not really like to have that!!
If you are talking about a normal application installation, the user will still have to clieck some executable file to start the installation.
Also beware that in some countries, installing unwanted software on the pc of others without prior acknolegments could lead to legal actions, so I sugest informing the user of what is happening.

Fully automatic silent install of 1.4.2_10

We're using Citrix Webinterface 4.0 with Citrix Java Client for remote access users (working at home). This works fine with Java 1.4.2_10. It does NOT work with MS Java VM or Java 1.5.x. So we need to ensure employees have Java 1.4.2_10 installed at their home pc's. We do not have administrative control over these pc's. Therefore we need to push the Java 1.4.2_10 software from the same webpage as their Citrix Webinterface login.
QUESTION: I would like to create a hyperlink on the Webinterface login page where users can click to FULLY AUTOMATICALLY download and SILENTLY install the Java 1.4.2_10 software (and NOT the Java 1.5.x which is (non-silently) available at http://www.java.com/nl/download/ie_auto.jsp !!!!!)
How can this be accomplished?
Any help is much appreciated

i haven't done it, but you could just include the version of the JRE you want the user to use with your software

Silent install of JRE (java 5 update 11) doesnot disable java update tab

I need to disable the Update tab in java pluign.
Manually it can be achieved by setting the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Update\Policy
EnableJavaUpdate = 0.
But i want to achieve this through java script
I've read the doc... http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/deployment/deployment-guide/silent.html .
From this i tried silent install through command prompt by using the following.
jre-1_5_0_11-windows-i586-p.exe /s /v"/qn IEXPLORER=1 ADDLOCAL=ALL JAVAUPDATE=0 /L C:\jre.txt"
also tried
jre-1_5_0_11-windows-i586-p.exe /s /v"/qn ADDLOCAL=ALL JAVAUPDATE=0 JU=0 AUTOUPDATECHECK=0 /L C:\jre.txt"
but this successfully installs the jre but the update tab in the plugin is still shown.
Can anybody help me to disable the update tab of java plugin through javascript while installing the jre.
Thank you in advance.

This is a very poor solution. It looks extremely unprofessional, especially when you're relying on Java for your products. You want to install your product with Java (because it doesn't exist on many machines) and people think it's instant Spyware and bundle garbage. I have to agree with them (even though I'm a certified Java developer with 8+ years experience). Very poor...

"You do not have sufficient access to uninstall" following CF9 silent install

When running a silent CF9 install I'm unable to remove the product, either through control panel or running the uninstaller directly. The error is "You do not have sufficient access to uninstall Adobe Coldfusion 9. Please contact your system administrator."   Coldfusion works perfectly fine after the silent install, it just cannot be cleanly removed
This is being run as a local administrator on Windows 2008 R2 SP1 in both cases, from an elevated command prompt. If I run the installer interactively with the same settings it works as expected and can be removed without any trouble
My silent install parameters are:
INSTALLER_UI=SILENT
SILENT_LICENSE_MODE=full
SILENT_SERIAL_NUMBER=#LICENSE#
SILENT_INSTALLER_TYPE=standalone
SILENT_INSTALL_ODBC=true
SILENT_INSTALL_VERITY=true

I looked over the options in http://blogs.adobe.com/cfdoc/2009/10/performing_a_silent_installation_of_coldfusion_9.html but dont see anything else related to the user context on Windows. Is there something else I'm missing, or is this a bug?

Thanks Anit,
If I kill jrun and run the uninstaller directly I get a Fatal Application Error with this message:

Silent install of Oracle WebLogic Server 11gR1 (10.3.6) + Coherence + OEPE

Hi, I'm trying to deploy the Oracle WebLogic Server 11R1 (10.3.6) on multiple computers. So I created a silent.xml file to use in my silent installation.

Creating silent install for j2re-1_4_2_03

We are in the processing of updating the JRE to 1.4.2_03, but end-users being what they are, we create a silent install to control the JRE installation.
I cannot get the command line option to create a .iss file. I have tried these different commands:
j2re-1_4_2_03-windows-i586-p.exe /r /f1C:\jre\jresetup.iss
j2re-1_4_2_03-windows-i586-p.exe -r /f1C:\jre\jresetup.iss
j2re-1_4_2_03-windows-i586-p.exe /r
j2re-1_4_2_03-windows-i586-p.exe -r
Depending on which InstallShield article you read, the RECORD option is either /r or -r....neither work.
Has anyone created a silent install of j2re-1_4_2_03? If so, would you be willing to share your .iss file?

(I know this is the wrong version, but I hope it helps on your way, if the users already have a JVM installed, distribute with JavaWebStart, it can autoupdate the JVM)

Silent Install for JRE 1.4.2_02

I am having trouble running a silent install of the JRE. I've referenced the following document, but have not had any luck. http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/plugin/developer_guide/silent.html
The command I attempted to use is:
j2re-1_4_2_02-windows-i586-p.exe /s /v
Is this not the correct format? I tried many different versions of the command based on the silent install document, none worked. I still get prompted to accept the install.

I would like to execute a silent install of other java components, namely the Java Advanced Imaging package. I have tried a combination of the arguments to the .exe installers, but it only seems to unpackage to the temp directory, which gets deleted 30 seconds later and nothing gets installed.
I can't really provide an .iss file, because the install location may change. So, I'd like to be able to provide all the necessary info at the command-line. Below is my command-line, anyone see anything overtly wrong?
C:\Projects\thirdparty\jai\jai-1_1_2-lib-windows-i586-jdk.exe -a /s /v"/qn ADDLOCAL=ALL NETSCAPE6=1 MOZILLA=1 IEXPLORER=1 INSTALLDIR=%JAVA_HOME%/jre REBOOT=Suppress"
Notes:
If I don'g provide the -a option, it ignores the silent option and the install gui is displayed anyway.
JAVA_HOME environment variable is currently set.
Thanks.

Silent install fails?

Hi Folks,
Restarting an Adobe AIR Application is not working during Silent installation.
If I install testapp.air(which has following code) on a machine that already has Adobe AIR installed on it and I click on
   the 'Restart' button in the testapp it works fine. (The app is closed and restarted and the window reopens)
import mx.core.Application;
import mx.core.WindowedApplication;
import adobe.utils.ProductManager;
public function reStart():void
    var app:WindowedApplication =
        WindowedApplication(Application.application);
    var mgr:ProductManager =
        new ProductManager("airappinstaller");
    mgr.launch("-launch " +
        app.nativeApplication.applicationID + " " +
        app.nativeApplication.publisherID);
    NativeApplication.nativeApplication.exit(0);
Now, we have a need to bundle Adobe AIR with our app and install Adobe AIR in 'silent' mode. I followed the directions in the Adobe
AIR bundling agreement and used the following command to install it:
testappInstaller.exe -silent -eulaAccepted -location "C:/Program Files/" -desktopShortcut testapp.air
If I do this, when I click on the 'Restart' button it does NOT restart the application. The issue seems to be related to installing
Adobe AIR in silent mode.
I would greatly appreciate any assistance Adobe is able to provide for this issue.

Update- BEA recognizes this as an issue in SP2. Maybe fixed in SP3? They sent me
a copy of installoptions.bea. This file must be placed into C:\bea prior to running
install - hard coded path.

Installing the Java-Plugin without administrative rights

I would like to find a way to allow a user without administrative rights to install the Java-Plugin for using Java-Applets. As far as I understood, the plugin can be installed in a silent way withou registry modifiactions. Is this working for users without admin rights?
Furthermore I would like to have the web page containing the applet installing the plugin (if necessary) in a fully automatic way so the user does not need to deal with installing the plugin manually. This should work without admin rights as well.
Any ideas?

I would like to find a way to allow a user without
administrative rights to install the Java-Plugin for
using Java-Applets. As far as I understood, the
plugin can be installed in a silent way withou

without admin rights?Could anyone please explain, why it is so difficult for Sun to create an installation package for user without admin rights? The whole "GetJava"-program is just crap for ordinary users if they get the JRE downloaded seamlessly and then the installation fails due to missing admin rights. This way Java would never succeed on the desktop.

Silent Install?

I would like to migrate a client java application we have to
an air application. However, the product supports100-300 clients.
We have an automated mechnism to install/update all of the client
software, so no user interaction is required on the client systems.
I have searched through this forum, and it seems there is no way to
do an install of the air runtime or an air application without
being prompted with the liscense agreement dialogs.
Are there any plans to to enable a silent install of the air
runtime and air applications? If so is there a timeframe when it
will be enabled?

Yes; the only supported mechanism for silently installing an
AIR application will be via the redistribution support.
We've done it this way because it's the only way to guarantee
that, when your application is installed, the correct version of
AIR also gets installed. In fact, it's the re-distributable
installer for AIR--the thing you sign up for--that contains the
capability of silently installing an AIR application.

Silent Install Removes Browser Integration

Hello, I'm having an issue when silently deploying new versions of Java to computers in my domain (all Win7 x64). When it's deployed, Java does not prompt the user to close any open browser windows like you would see if you ran the installer manually. This causes Java to be updated, but all browser integration is lost. The only way I've found to fix this is by manually closing all browsers and repairing Java, which is a pain to do for 150 users. Is there a switch to update Java at the next logon when silently installing (like you can do if you manually install)? Also, a static installation is not an option because it leaves vulnerable files on the computer.

go to tools\internet options\advanced\java vm etc.in IE
and check out the check boxes as appropriate may be it helps u

My silent.xml.long looks like this:
root@usqwrts001:/tmp/karin# less silent.xml.long
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<bea-installer>
<input-fields>
<data-value name="BEAHOME" value="/opt/weblogic-12.1-MP1" />

<data-value name="COMPONENT_PATHS"
value="WebLogic Server/Core Application Server|WebLogic Server

<data-value name="INSTALL_NODE_MANAGER_SERVICE" value="no" />
<data-value name="LOCAL_JVMS" value="/opt/jdk1.7.0_11"/>
</input-fields>
</bea-installer>
I already tried it with simply <data-value name="COMPONENT_PATHS" value="WebLogic Server" /> instead of the whole bunch, but behaviour didn't change.
My environment settings:
root@usqwrts001:/tmp/karin# echo $JAVA_HOME
/opt/jdk1.7.0_11/bin/sparcv9/
root@usqwrts001:/tmp/karin# echo $PATH
/opt/jdk1.7.0_11/bin/sparcv9:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/platform/sun4v/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/opt/openssh/bin:/usr/openwin/bin
As there is no bin directory under sparcv9 (which contains the 64-Bit modules), i took sparcv9 again for the path (instead of taking $JAVA_HOME/bin as described in documentation) . But I also tried the bin directory (without sparcv9) with the same effect.
Has anybody an idea for me??
Thanks a lot in advance
Karin.

Looking at the log it is saying the following:

Please select another Middleware Home or contact Oracle Supportwhich means the select option 'WebLogic Server/WebLogic Web Server Plugins' is not a valid option (this is indeed the case as in WebLogic 12c there are no Plugins available, you can use the ones for WebLogic 10.3.6 though, but that is not the issue here).
After editing the weblogic-silent.xml to reflect the correct components, we have something like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<bea-installer>
     <input-fields>

          <data-value name="OCP_INSTALL_DIR" value="/home/someone/weblogic12.1.1/installation/coherence_3.7"/>

          <data-value name="LOCAL_JVMS" value="/home/someone/jrockit"/>
     </input-fields>
</bea-installer>
Unfortunately, the documentation (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E24329_01/doc.1211/e24492/silent.htm#i1044116) says the option 'WebLogic Server/WebLogic Web Server Plugins' is available. When running the installation again the following is observed:

and we have a much larger log file, with the last entry reading
2013-03-21 13:09:26,990 INFO [WizardController] com.bea.plateng.wizard.silent.tasks.LogTask - The installation was successfull!In your case it crashed on: Unable to locate product "WebLogic Server " - which looks like you have enters in your XML file "value="WebLogic Server/Core Application Server|WebLogic Server". Make sure everything is on one line, and that (as in my case) you select the right components.
Should have posted this answer two days ago, but I thought to let you flounder a little (just kidding).
