Java 8 update 60 SCCM deployment fails from SCCM but works fine with manual installation with same level access. Any fixes ?
Hi All,
I have been facing this issue for a while now, Whenever I try deploying Java 8 u 60 package from SCCM it fails to install. But if I try with exactly same command manually it works (with same level access as in SCCM). It gives the below Error:
There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor. Action: installexe, location: C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_60\installer.exe, command: /s INSTALLDIR="C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_60\\" WEB_JAVA=1 WEB_ANALYTICS=0 EULA=0 NOSTARTMENU=1 INSTALL_SILENT=1 AUTO_UPDATE=0 SPONSORS=0 REPAIRMODE=1 ProductCode={26A24AE4-039D-4CA4-87B4-2F83218060F0}
Please help if any one has a fix. :-(
Thanks in Advance.

Extract and use the MSI. That way, you can add logging to the process. You can also use a transform to add the deployment files. Without those in place - and I strongly advise you to use the systemwide scenario - your users will be badgered with the 'out of date' message when Oracle decides to update JRE.
The details are all over IT Ninja.

Here is the way I managed to get 8u60 deployed using SCCM
I created a powershell shell script that would create the c:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java folder if it didnt exist, and then copy a java.settings.cfg file into it.
Java.setting.cfg contents
INSTALL_SILENT=Enable
STATIC=Disable
AUTO_UPDATE=Disable
WEB_JAVA=Enable
WEB_JAVA_SECURITY_LEVEL=H
WEB_ANALYTICS=Disable
EULA=Disable
REBOOT=Disable
NOSTARTMENU=Enable
SPONSORS=Disable
I then extracted the MSI form the JRE exe, and set up an application using the following commands:
msiexec /i "jre1.8.0_60.msi" /q NOSTARTMENU=Enable
and made the folder copy a dependency. All seems to work.

Sorry for the very late reply but the solution works perfectly for me and also for new version 8u66. Kudos !! - The_D 8 years ago

The best way I have found is to install Java on a pc and then go to the appdata folder located here: C:\Users\username\AppData\LocalLow\Oracle\Java\jre1.8.0_60 and copy the jre1.8.0_60.msi file to your software folder used for SCCM deployment. Then set up your java Application for deployment using this msi file. Add your switches or whatever you need. I have been doing this for many years and have never had an issue deploying Java to the thousands of computers I manage.
