Silent install of JDK, not JRE

Hi,
and sorry, if this had already been covered here (though I could not find it via search).
For the installation procedure of our own software, I need to install the JDK (not the JRE) 1.4.2_03 first in silent mode (on Windows 2000). I tried to execute the following:
j2sdk-1_4_1_03-windows-i586.exe /s /v '/qn ADDLOCAL=ALL INSTALLDIR=C:\silent REBOOT=Suppress'. Since I read a hint for JRE silent install, I tried with and without a space after /v, but the install just comes up normally, asking for installation directory, etc, so no silent install!
Anyone having a hint in that direction? Maybe it's not possible at all with JDK?
Thanks in advance
Jens

Here it's the method to do silent install :
start /w j2sdk-1_4_2_10-windows-i586-p.exe /s /v"/qn ADDLOCAL=ALL INSTALLDIR=D:\java\jre"Please notify after the /v switch : between it and the quote, there is no space.
This's the command line to do a silent uninstall :
start /W j2sdk-1_4_2_10-windows-i586-p.exe /s /v"/qn REBOOT=Suppress" /xYou must have the original j2sdk installer on the drive. I have seen a uninstall method with the msiexec installer but it doesn't work... really shade. Because i think keep up the original installation package to perform a uninstallation's a space waste.
Sorry to reply to this old thread... and sorry for my ugly / bad english.

Acrobat 9.1 Update - Silent Install - Deploy is not "Silent"

Acrobat 9.1 Update - Silent Install / Deploy is not "Silent" or Quiet
When Installing and/or Deploying the Update for Acrobat Pro/Std 9.0 in Silent mode:
AcroProStdUpd910_T1T2_incr.msp /q /l adobe91.log
AcroProStdUpd910_T1T2_incr.msp /qn
I get a "File Transfer" like status window that pop's up.
It is very brief, and all is well.
The problem is we're trying to reach 0% intrusion on the customers that this will be deployed to.
Is there another slash that is missing or does the install process just have this and we'll have to live with it?
I ran the patch in normal mode and you can see the pop-up during the install process in-between:
Optimizing Performance and Publishing Product Information.
Please Advise.
Thank you.

I know this post is a few months old, but for those that still need the info:
Updating Adobe Acrobat Professional from 9.0.0 to 9.1.2
1. Download the 2 patches, AcroProStdUpd910_T1T2_incr.msp (this updates to 9.1.0) and AcrobatUpd912_all_incr.msp (this updates to 9.1.2) and place them in the same folder.
If you are already at 9.1, you don't need the first patch.
2. Copy the AcroPro.msi file from C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Setup Files\guid (I didn't feel like typing out the whole string) to the folder with the patches. This is where the setup placed this file for my installation of CS4; your location could be in a different spot.
3. Create your script with the following 2 lines:
msiexec /p "%installdir%\AcroProStdUpd910_T1T2_incr.msp" /qn /norestart REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=omus
msiexec /p "%installdir%\AcrobatUpd912_all_incr.msp" /qn /norestart REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=omus
Substitute your path to the folder with the patch files for %installdir% above.
Obviously, this procedure is for updating Windows only. This was only tested on Windows XPSP3 with Adobe Acrobat Professional 9.0.0 as installed as part of CS4 Master Collection.

Executing via JDK not JRE

I wrote a class that compiles code using the Compiler API, but it only works when running from the JDK's JVM ( ToolProvider.getSystemJavaCompiler() always returns null if you don't). In Eclipse, I just set the Standard VM to jdk1.6.0, however I need to run this class from the command line, and when I do that, it looks like it runs the standard JRE. Is there any way (a cmd line option or something) to use the JDK not JRE to run the code?
Thanks

ThanksIf you want to run one of the java executable in the JDK, just use a full path to the executable. In Windows, in this machine, I would use
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_04\bin\java <classname> or
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_04\jre\bin\java <classname>
The first executes the java.exe in the JDK's bin directory, the second runs the java.exe in the JKD's JRE.

PSE 10 and Adobe CS6: When running silent install help is not working afterwards

Hello,
I'm not sure if this is the correct forum. If not: Please help me find the correct one.
I have a big issue with Adobe CS6 (and former versions like Photoshop Elements 10): When installing it from DVD running GUI everything is working fine afterwards. If I install e.g. Photoshop Elements 10 using "Silent Installation" help is not working afterwards. It states that it cannot locate the URL. I have not installed AIR and also do not plan to install it.
I have 'played' a little around with Common Files\Adobe\helpcfg and help directory. Now at least I do not get an error message but still it's not the online help which opens in the browser but the web page that is defined as 'home'.
The same I see now in Adobe CS6. I have e.g. packaged After Effects and Illustrator and when deploying it I'm not able to open help as well and I fear that this is the same issue.
Has anyone deeper knowledge about how "helpcfg" is working? Any example files? Any other help appreciated as well.
Kind regards
János

@hannilator Have you checked the exceptions folder contents for instructions on how to push to logged off computers? Here's what I get when I package CS6 (DesignWebPrem) and excude AIR/CHC:
After you have deployed the package, separately install the products in the exception folder.
IMPORTANT: Before you install the products in the exception folder, refer to the following Adobe Knowledgebase article for information on installing these products and configuring the settings correctly:
http://www.adobe.com/go/aamee_exceptions
NOTE: The installation commands provided below will work when the user is logged in to the client machine where the package is being deployed. For the scenario where the user is not logged in, prefix the following string to the command:
sudo launchctl bsexec `ps auwwx |grep [l]oginwindow | awk '{ print $2 }'`
As an example, here is the command to install "Adobe AIR" when the user is not logged in to the client machine (assuming Adobe AIR is part of the package):
sudo launchctl bsexec `ps auwwx |grep [l]oginwindow | awk '{ print $2 }'` Adobe\ AIR\ Installer.app/Contents/MacOS/Adobe\ AIR\ Installer -silent

JRE 1.4.2_10 Silent install using MSi and JRE 5.0_06

I have been unable to install JRE 1.4.2_10 using the msi and mst silently. My company requires all applications be installed using and msi not an exe. and with no user intervention. I can install using the msi and mst but not silently,.
Also it does not allow me to choose IE as the default browser. I change the setting in the MST for IE, but this does not work, I still have to manually go in and change it after the install.
I have the same issue with version 5.0_06. This does allow me to choose IE as the default browser but does not install silently.
I am installing on Windows 2000 SP4.

Can't help you with the MSI/MST part of your question directly, however we use the following command line:
jre-1_5_0_04-windows-i586-p.exe /s /v" /qn ADDLOCAL=jrecore,extra IEXPLORER=1 REBOOT=ReallySuppress JAVAUPDATE=0 SYSTRAY=0"
You might be able to make IEXPLORER=1 work for you via the MSI?
Additionally, you can manage JRE settings via the following method -
Place a file called 'deployment.config' in the following location:
%SystemRoot%\Sun\Java\Deployment
This file can act as a pointer to a configuration file (aka jre.properties)
The contents of 'deployment.config' would look like (as an example):
deployment.system.config=file://///servername/share/jre.properties
'jre.properties' would then contain this like:
deployment.version=1.5.0
deployment.browser.path=C\:\\Program Files\\Internet Explorer\\iexplore.exe

How can I automatically update the JDK (not JRE) on a Windows box

Hi,
We have a build machine that we use to build our product. I would like to automate the process of updating the JDK used to build the product so that, as a new JDK release/update/version becomes available for download it get automatically installed on the build machine. Any recommendations on how I could do this? Is there at least a way to get notified when a new release/update/version is available?
Thanks,
Graham

I don't enter it , it gets it from my card and i have written 2 there and its allowing me to choose between those two.
Maybe we are talking about different things if you can just let me know the procedure of doing it from the beginning, I will be very grateful, if not thanks!

Silent install hangs due to secure connection prompt

It would appear the "silent install" instructions have not been truly updated in years. The writeup for 1.4.2 is the last robust writeup I can find.
What flag is needed to do a true unattended installation of the JRE or JDK? As it stands the installer will either (a) bring up the secure connection prompt in spite of being a silent install, or worse (b) hang completely.
... the command I'm running:
jre-6u24-windows-x64.exe /s /v"/qn IEXPLORER=1 MOZILLA=1 REBOOT=Suppress JAVAUPDATE=0 STATIC=1"
Work blocks most image hosting sites so here is a link to the exact dialog which should NOT pop up when doing a silent install, but does anyway: http://blog.gordonturner.ca/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/tweetdeck-error.jpg

Why use the STATIC flag? Doing so overwrites the patch-in-place function
This is by design. The machines being built are on a closed network that will throw security alerts whenever unexpected network calls are made (e.g. an auto update poll).
Can you just run <installer> /s ?
As part of the troubleshooting process I have run it with all flags in all combinations, including the basic "/s". The dialog is thrown regardless.
If there's a problem, maybe you should try the offline installer?
This is the offline installer. It's not exactly offline. Quite exasperating to be honest.

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?
pyro_dw

(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)
created with: j2re-1_4_1-windows-i586.exe -a -r -f1C:\setup.iss (I think)

Silent Install of Acrobat Pro 11

Hey All,
I am using MDT to deploy Images and install apps. I have packaged Acrobat Pro XI with the Customization Wizard XI and have used both Unattended and Silent Install in the mst.
The below command starts the install but it is completely interactive except that my serial # and other settings are present so I know it is reading the mst.
command line: msiexec /i AcroPro.msi TRANSFORMS=AcroPro.mst
adding /qn causes the install to fail w MDT error code 1603 - Fatal error during installation.
Any ides?
Thank You

MDT = Microsoft deployment toolkit
I must add the install fails when I run it from a command line as well and use the /qn switch but works non-silently if I don't use the switch.
So the solution is to add the /qn but this is what is causing the failure.
This is exactly what it is doing:
Why doesn’t my install respect the “silent install” settings I specified with the Wizard?
If your command line is something like:
MSIEXEC /I C:\A9\AcroPro.msi TRANSFORMS="C:\A9\AcroPro.mst
. . . then you are not using Setup.ini your workflow. The Wizard rewrites Setup.ini when you specify a silent install to include this option. The silent install switch is not saved in the MST. Either run Setup.ini or change your command line to:
MSIEXEC /I C:\A9\AcroPro.msi TRANSFORMS="C:\A9\AcroPro.mst" /qn

JRE 1.4 Silent Install does not install

For testing purposes I downloaded the JRE installer (15+ MB) onto the Windows PC I wanted to test out the silent install on. I'm referencing the notes posted here: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/plugin/developer_guide/silent.html
At the MS-DOS prompt I type the following command and nothing happens. I don't get any errors or anything and nothing seems to be running in the background. It just executes the command and returns to a blinking cursor.
From this directory on my computer c:\Program Files\CF EMS\ I execute the following:
j2re-1_4_2_08-windows-i586-p.exe /s /v "/qn ADDLOCAL=ALL IEEXPLORER=1 INSTALLDIR=c:\jre1.4 /L jresetup.log"
Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Nothing ever gets installed.
NOTE: If I double-click on the .exe installer, it runs the GUI installer and completes successfully so I know the executable works.
Thank you for any help.
- Billy -

Figured it out for those of you that run into this issue... I needed to read the documentation a little more carefully...
I originally had the following command j2re-1_4_2_08-windows-i586-p.exe /s /v "/qn ADDLOCAL=ALL IEXPLORER=1 INSTALLDIR=c:\jre1.4 /L jresetup.log"
I am using the offline installer. If you read the NOTES section in http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/plugin/developer_guide/silent.html you'll see in #3 it states that there should be no space between the /v and the "/qn in the command if you are using the Windows Offline Installation.
So the correct command is:
j2re-1_4_2_08-windows-i586-p.exe /s /v"/qn ADDLOCAL=ALL IEXPLORER=1 INSTALLDIR=c:\jre1.4 /L jresetup.log"

Silent Install of 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.
http://java.sun.com/products/archive/j2se/1.4.2_02/jre/install-windows.html

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.

J2SE JDK 1.6.0_18 silent install ignores arguments

I'm trying to install J2SE 1.6.0_18 on Windows XP Professional w/ SP3 via the command line silent install function, and I'm trying to get all 3 portions of the install (JDK, JRE and JavaDB) to install to the D:\ drive. From what I've read in the forums and from the instructions I found on the [webnotes page|http://java.sun.com/javase/6/webnotes/install/jdk/install-windows.html] , I came up with the following command that should work:
jdk-6u18-windows-i586.exe /s INSTALLDIR=\"d:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_18\" INSTALLDIRPUBJRE=\"d:\Program Files\Java\jre6\" INSTALLDIRJAVADB=\"d:\Program Files\Sun\JavaDB\"However, when the command is run, the JDK is installed to the correct location, but the JRE and JavaDB are installed to their default locations.
I've also run the installation through the GUI and noticed that even there, there is no option to specify where the JavaDB gets installed. I'm able to specify the location for the JDK and the JRE, but that's it.
Any thoughts or suggestions? Maybe something I've missed?

Try the following with the parameter INSTALLDIR without forward slash and both */INSTALLDIRJAVADB* and */INSTALLDIRPUBJRE* with forward slash
jdk-6u26-windows-i586.exe /s INSTALLDIR=\"c:\java\jdk-6u26\" /INSTALLDIRJAVADB=\"c:\java\javadb-6u26\" /INSTALLDIRPUBJRE=\"c:\java\jre-6u26\"If you want to use ADDLOCAL please note that */INSTALLDIRJAVADB* and/or */INSTALLDIRPUBJRE* only work if the values PublicjreFeature and/or JavaDBFeature are in ADDLOCAL. e.g.
jdk-6u26-windows-i586.exe /s ADDLOCAL="ToolsFeature,DemosFeature,SourceFeature,JavaDBFeature,PublicjreFeature" INSTALLDIR=\"c:\java\jdk-6u26\" /INSTALLDIRJAVADB=\"c:\java\javadb-6u26\" /INSTALLDIRPUBJRE=\"c:\java\jre-6u26\"

Getting this error :NB: JAVA_HOME should point to a JDK not a JRE

HI All
I've installed jdk1.5.0_06 in windows enviroment.i've correctly set the java_home path for it.
Apart from it i've installed two servers one is Weblogic 9.1 and Tomcat 5.5 and NetBeans 5.5.1.
While running my project with the netbeans it tried to start the server. On starting the Tomcat server it showed me this error in the Tomcat log.
NB: JAVA_HOME should point to a JDK not a JRE
but while running Weblogic it worked smoothly. the java_home path has both the paths of jdk1.5 (installed separatly ) and the one which is bundeled with weblogic(jdk1.5)
Could anyone tell me the solution for the error.while running the project sseparatly is working fine. but i am not able to run it from NetBeans.

By why it is so that we bin folder was not selected,
because when i earlier installed weblogic then at
that time weblogic automatically made this entry
using its own internal jdk and the path was till bin.A JAVA_HOME directory should point to a directory containing all the java related stuff. The bin part is appended while executing javac or java command. Weblogic might be using the JAVA_HOME variable differently.

Why Does Installing The JDK On A 64bit OS Install 3 Copys of the JRE???

I am running Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit version. I recently installed the JDK and realized that along with it 3 copys of the JRE were installed. This is a brand new computer I am running that I just brought home a few days ago so I know there not older versions. Basically what I have is the following; I downloaded the 64bit JDK package and installed it on my system. Now I have the following set up and would like to know if I can safely uninstall any of these as I dont think I need all of them.
Under Program File(x86) I have the jre6 installed there, that is the 32bit version.
Under Program Files I have the jre6 installed there, as well as the jdk1.6.0_20 these are the 64bit versions. The troubling thing is that inside the jdk1.6.0_20 folder I have yet another jre installation.
Now I assume that I need both 32 and 64 bit versions on my system for whatever reason is the case. What I do not understand is why if the jre6 is already installed in both the 32 and 64 bit locations as indicated above, than why does it also get installed inside the jdk1.6.0_20 folder location?? I know that the jre comes bundled with the jdk but is that the jre that is located inside the jdk directory or is it the jre folder????
Could someone please explain to me exactly how this works and what version i can uninstall??? I am assuming that I can remove the seperate jre6 install that is located in the 64 bit program files location as then that would leave me with the 32bit jre still installed and I would also still have the jre that is installed inside the jdk folder...
Am I correct on this one??? Also another quick question.... If you need both 32 and 64bit jre's than why don't you need both 32 and 64bit jdks??? Also is it possible to just go ahead and run only the 32bit version on a 64bit machine???
Thanks in advance for any help

They bother me because I prefer to keep my system tidy as possible. I do not like to have extra things installed that just waste hard drive space. I am the type of person that keeps my system as clean as my house. I don't like having things laying around that are never going to be used and just waste space. Now in this case apparantly one of these copies of java is not going to be used ever. It makes no sense to me that if the jdk comes with the jre bundled, then why would it also install a seperate jre in another folder when there is already a jre contained within the jdk folder?????
I understand the purpose of the 32 bit install of the jre, but why would you have the following set up???
Program Files
jdk1.6.0_20>>jre
jre6Program Files(x86)
jre6Thats 3 copies of the jre and only 1 of the jdk?!?!?! I need one jre for 32bit and one for 64bit, but why the extra copy in the 64bit location???
You mention uninstalling and reinstalling, but as I said earlier this pc is only a week old and all i did was download the 64bit jdk from the Java website and install it. So all that will accomplish is the same result. My question was trying to figure out if it is safe to remove the extra copy of the jre without losing any functions????? Or would it be better to just remove it all and install the 32bit version???? I read that the 64 bit is for Internet Explorer 64bit which i never use, I use google chrome and firefox which are both 32bit. The thing is though is that the jdk is what I need for programming. Does it matter whether its 64 or 32 bit????
