Webstart not able to automatically download and install JRE

I'm using the following tag. It used to work a few months ago, but now webstart says it could not able to automatically download it, and that the JRE must be installed manually.
Any ideas? Thanks!
<j2se version="1.6.0_03" href="http://java.sun.com/products/autodl/j2se" java-vm-args="-Xms100m -Xmx400m"/>

6u3 was never posted for autodownload by javaws. If it used to work for you, you must have been on machine with it already loaded.
Why don't you just use 1.6.0_03+ ?
I'm not sure if _03 will ever be pushed, but I might be able to get 1.6.0_05 pushed for auto-download after it is released in a few weeks.

How to prevent automatic download and install of Reader 8.1.2

Hi-
I have Adobe Reader 7.0.9 and I need to keep it as my default Adobe reader program and plug-in for some applications that I use.
Over the last week, Adobe reader 8.1.2 downloads automatically and installs itself in my business laptop (Win XP SP2) and replaces my 7.0.9 version.
Each time I uninstall the 8.1.2 and reinstall the 7.0.9. I ensure the option of automatic download and install is disabled in 7.0.9.
But it still happens I have for the xth time today the new 8.1.2 in my laptop.
Anybody knows what is going on ? And how can I solve this issue to keep my 7.0.9 version ?
Thanks.

That's *not* a good thing to hear.
After the download finishes, do NOT press the Install Now button. Try the following to remove the download from the device. Here's the procedure I came up with last time this happened with iOS 7...It may or may not work.
Re: Apple Forced iOS7 update on my iPad2 !
Afterwards if you succeed, block Apple's update server using the following method so it wont get pushed to the device again:
In your router's settings, set up a block (using Access Restrictions or similar in the router's web interface) to mesu.apple.com. This will prevent the devices from "phoning home" to Apple, checking for the update and getting the download pushed to it again.
Or follow the instructions at this link:

My other laptop crashed with adobe lightroom installed on it. How can i de-authorize that computer (not able to boot up) and install it on this computer?

There is no de-authorize process for Lightroom. Just download the latest version and use your License key to authorize on the new computer.

Automatic download and install of app updates

Is there a way of setting iTunes to download and install updates to existing apps. At the moment, if I am travelling, I come back and there are 20 or 30 apps to update

I'm sorry, but you can't install updates automatically. You have to open iTunes and install these updates manually, and there isn't a workaround for this

Can the Adobe Update Server be used to automatically download and install updates?

Can the Adobe Update Server be used to download and install updates to Creative Cloud apps automatically without admin or user intervention?
I've noticed there is a Adobe Remote Update Manager, but I would rather all the updates and installs happen in the background.

Hi Nicholas,
Please check the link given:- https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/packager/using-remote-update-manager.html
Let me know in case you require more detail on the topic.

How can I stop Firefox from automatically downloading and installing updates?????? UN-Checking box when installing for auto DOESN"T WORK!!!!

Have many performance problems with latest versions of Firefox.
I remove fFrefox and reinstall 18.0 and everything is fine until Firefox automatically updates to 28.x.
I remove check in box when asked if want Firefox Maintenance installed, but downloads updates anyway and next time I bring-up then problems are back!!!
I have to start over again and never X Firefox.
I just want the basic Firefox - simple, FAST and WORKS !!!
Never liked IE - but may have to go back to it.
Chrome is also automatic download update.
using XP, but may have to rethink
Thanks for any help.

What kind of problems do you have with the Firefox 28 release?
Did you check your security software (firewall, anti-virus) to make sure that the new version in allowed?
It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full, unrestricted, access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

You can create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problem.
See "Creating a profile":

*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over the problem

Force Adobe CS6 to automatically download and install from AUSST 2.0

We are currently in the process of rolling out Adobe CS6 Master Collection to about 2000+ endpoints. Currently these machines are running CS5 and CS5.5 Master Collections. I have setup and tested an AUSST 2.0 server and created the override files for my computer (running CS6) it detected and downloaded the updates from our update server, but it requires me to run the "Updates..." from inside say Photoshop and once it goes to install the updates, elevate because of the UAC. Our users are not admins and we cannot be having our desktop support running around installing updates on 2000+ machines monthly. This is the reason that the CS6 install was created from AMMEE. So they can have as little touch time as possible. I wanted to see if there was a way to force the CS6 products to update themselves without user or admin interaction.
Currently my AdobeUpdateAdminPrefs.dat is set like this:
UpdaterPrefSchedCheckFreq 3
Automatic 3

$hdiutil verify <path/image.dmg>

How do I make Firefox automatically download and install files?

When I download an exe file from the internet, it goes over to the download window. I can see it downloading but I always have to right click and and select open to get it to install. How do I get it to always install automatically? There is never any option called "Download this type of file all the time".

I've been trying to figure this out for days.

I use firefox portable and have disabled auto-update in Options, but it still automatically downloaded and installed version 16.0.2 from 14.0.1

I use Firefox portable 14.0.1 and it was displaying you are on release update channel. Even with the auto-update option disabled, it updated to version 16.0.2 thus resulting in some of my add-ons not working.

Support for Firefox Portable is here - http://portableapps.com/forums/support/firefox_portable

Chinese Word list Update 1.5 not downloaded and installed automatically

On my Macbook Pro with Retina display 15 inches running OSX 10.8.3, an update called "Chinese Word list Update 1.5" show up on Update available list in Appfresh application. But when I click on install, Mac APp Store open to search for that update, but it end up with "No update available"
When I click Software Update from Apple menu, the same thing with No update available occurred.
On my system information, I have Chinese Wrd list Update 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1nd 1.4 installed. But I can't get this 1.5 Chinese Word list Update to automatically downloaded and installed as in the previous version
Where can I download chinesewordlistupdate.pkg version 1.5 for manual installation? I cannot find it anywhere on APple support website
This problem always occured when a new Chinese Word list Update is released. Why Apple won't make this update available for manual download or thru normal process of software update? Why Apple has to make this very suspicious update? I can't find answer anywhere on the Internet
Can any expert here point me to download this chinesewordlistupdate.pkg version 1.5 so that I can manually install it please

Any advise
Perhaps it would help if you would do a few things to make sure the Apple update system knows that your machine needs to do Chinese. This includes a) check the boxes to activate the simplified and traditional input sources in system preferences/language & text/input sources, b) download the additional 10 chinese fonts which Apple provides only when you try to enable them in Fontbook, and c) download the additional chinese voices which Apple provides only when you check their boxes in system preferences/speech/system voice/customize.
It might also help to temporarily switch the OS interface to Chinese and then check for software updates.

Today version 3.6.4 downloaded and installed. Since thne I can not longer download videos with real Play.

Earlier today version 3.6.4 automatically downloaded and installed.. Since then I can no longer download with real play. The download video bar does not appear nor does the drop downboxwith the line download video appear when I move the cursor
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== once version 3.6.4 downloaded and installed

Firefox 4.0.1 has been an unsafe browser since the release of Firefox 5. So please don't use it.
Real hasn't made Real Player Browser Plugin compatible with Firefox 5.

Firefox: check for updates to addons at startup, inform user, but don't download and install, as before new addon-manager - how?

Before the new add-ons manager it was possible to let Firefox check for updates to extensions at startup, and get information about available updates without having them automatically downloaded and installed. It seems that this is not possible any more - either updates are automatically installed without chance to review, or one has to open the add-ons manager to see the result of the update check. How can I get the old behaviour back?

Mac Books have their own repair routines. I would suggest going to the Macbook usage forum and post there. Perhaps someone there can help. I would suggest a DiskRepair.
Cheers!

WebStart 1.4.2 doesn't find installed JRE for 1.4.2 ?

I have installed J2RE1.4.2_04. As far as I can tell, it works just fine and there are registry keys set for
Java Runtime Environment for 1.4 and 1.4.2_04 which are set to the same thing. However, when I
run my webstart app, I get an error with the general information that "The application has requested a
version of the Java 2 platform (JRE) that is currently not locally installed. Java Web Start was unable to
automatically download and install the requested version. The JRE version must be installed manually."
Having turned tracing and output on, I look in the log and see
javawsApplicationMain: Installed JRE: null
So, for some reason, WebStart doesn't think I have an installed JRE. Could someone tell me why?
I have tried various incantations of version, such as
<j2se version="1.4.2_04"/>
<j2se version="1.4.2"/>
<j2se version="1.4.2+"/>
<j2se version="1.4.2*"/>
All of these result in the same error. If I try either of
<j2se version="1.4+"/>
<j2se version="1.4"/>
WebStart recognizes that I do in face have a JRE installed, but then I have other problems. I would
prefer to get the 1.4.2 problem fixed first since I require 1.4.2 and some boxes have 1.4.1 on them.
Thanks for any ideas!

This is confusing and done poorly in my opinion but the only "versions" of Java 2 are 1.2, 1.3, and 1.4 (1.5 is coming). If you specify anything past those (as your first four examples do), Web Start assumes a product specific version and you have to provide a URL to download it. Even if it is on the machine, Web Start downloads the version and stores a separate copy of it.
See http://java.sun.com/products/javawebstart/developers.html#auto for details.
I think the only thing you can do if multiple versions of 1.4 are installed is go into Web Start preferences and uncheck the box so it is not enabled.
