I'm getting soft in my old age. Here's a link to the 32-bit and 64-bit MSIs plus MSTs PLUS install and uninstall CMDs. For free!!

I know! Who'd believe that in 2016 there'd still be people who don't seem able to actually use a search engine! Unreal, eh? Oh well... - anonymous_9363 8 years ago

So...I can get the zip packages to deploy. I just am uncertain how to get it to install. I am unzipping, then I should be calling the _install script correct? - drknite 8 years ago
Love the way this idiot forum software only allows 3 replies to any topic...
Anyway...
> I am unzipping, then I should be calling the _install script correct?
If you like. That was provided merely because I couldn't be bothered to separate it out of the ZIP I created. Remember that my ZIP is just that - just an archive of what I've done with 8_101. It's nothing to do with Kace: I'm NOT a Kace box user. So, I'd suggest unzipping my ZIP, putting its content alongside your MSI and any other junk that Kace needs and then build a suitable command line which includes the TRANSFORMS property. If that's simplified for you by using my CMD, that's your call. It all works in my environment.

Nope, it's a completely fresh build of Windows 10. How would I test as SYSTEM?
I don't suppose it makes any difference if it's an Application or a Package does it? - dsgoody 8 years ago-
Try a previous update like u99 or u100, I have a feeling it could be this build causing issue. I know u91 64-bit is ok as I packaged that a few months back.
Wont make a diff if its a package or a app in sccm, this is a CA issue with the msi (probably in conjunction with the os). - rileyz 8 years ago-
Odd; I have tried the following builds:
jre1.8.0_73.msi
jre1.8.0_77.msi
jre1.8.0_91.msi
jre1.8.0_101.msi
jre1.8.0_73_x64.msi
jre1.8.0_77_x64.msi
jre1.8.0_91_x64.msi
jre1.8.0_101_x64.msi
Plus the following PSU builds:
jre1.8.0_92.msi
jre1.8.0_92_x64.msi
I can replicate this problem consistently across multiple Windows 10 1511 machines, and also on one of our few remaining Windows 7 machines that's never seen Java.
When you packaged jre1.8.0_91_x64.msi was this to clean workstations or as an update to existing builds? - dsgoody 8 years ago

Hah, nice one!
I used a transform for all my gubbins, we do reg stamping and other guff. So that should do the trick [: - rileyz 8 years ago
Use the deployment.[x] files, as extensively documented here at ITNinja and elsewhere, including Oracle's site. There'll be a link to Oracle's doc in one of the JRE posts.
For that, you'll require a transform, into which you can put all the other properties you'll need.

Then may we recommend you ask someone who is, at your place of work. It would seem you are too far out of your depth to be able to follow the simple instructions given by VBScab, who is, in my experience, being much more helpful than usual. ;-) - EdT 8 years ago

Now, see here, Mr Ed! Good job I know you! :-)
For others who do not know me so well, let me clarify.
If you ask a genuine question, then you'll find me more than willing to help. If, however, the answer to your question can be divined in less than a second by using a popular search engine, then I'm going to let you have it with both barrels! - anonymous_9363 8 years ago
