Java 7 upd 15 x86 missing update tab
I just installed Java 7 update 15, 32bit to start working on a MSI for deployment. In the javacpl, there is no tab or setting refering to updates. Is anyone else missing this tab? Any idea how to verify that it will not autoupdate or prompt to update?
I could not find any info on the missing tab even in the release notes. http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/7u15-relnotes-1907738.html
The installer was straight from the Java website offline ver.
Thanks!

I installed via msi as well however I used two options to attempy shushing it. I understand that despite turning it off, the Java Control Panel will still show it enabled.
My cmd line is this:
msiexec /i jre1.7.0_15.msi /qn AUTOUPDATECHECK=0 IEXPLORER=1 JAVAUPDATE=0 JU=0 MOZILLA=1
I haven't seen the AUTOUPDATECHECK actually work but doesn't hurt to say it there too.
But a second task I run is:
Delete “HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run!SunJavaUpdateSched” from the registry.
This simply keeps it from starting on boot.
I created the MSI to supress it but since the tab is missing, I do not know a good way to verify that the changes took. When I look in the registry, hkey_cur_user\software\Javasoft\java update\policy\javaFX here are the settings. I'm assuming this is the correct location.

If you disable the update feature then it'll show. - vinodreddy10 11 years ago
I have these to commands in a batch file.
reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\JavaSoft\Java Update\Policy" /v EnableJavaUpdate /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
reg delete "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run" /v SunJavaUpdateSched /f
reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\JavaSoft\Java Update\Policy" /v EnableJavaUpdate /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
It looks like when I uninstalled a customized java 6 which removed the update tab and then installed a non customized ver 7up15, it retained the removal of the update tab.
Does anyone know the specific registry keys that the following msi settings change so I can verify that updates have been disabed?
Propertyàautoupdatecheckà0= disable updates/update notification
Propertyàjavaupdateà0 =disable updates/update notification
Propertyàjuà0= disable updates/update notification
Thanks!
