Software Deployment

Capture the registry keys (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\JavaSoft\Java Update\Policy) after unchecking "Check for Automatic Updates" from your source installation and merge it to your package.

It worked for me.

Jeeoo!

i tried it, still not working.

We use a VBscript which will change the EnableJavaUpdate value to 1 after InstallFinalize

Thank you for your responses,

Issue was MSI was overwriting registry values during installation. I wrote a custom action to write registry values at the end of the installation. Now it is working.

Thank you again..

There's no need for any of that nonsense. Search AD for 'deployment.properties' and 'deployment.config'.

Manu77, you are writing the keys at the wrong place. See the location and key of my work below.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Update\Policy]
"EnableJavaUpdate"=dword:00000000
"EnableAutoUpdateCheck"=dword:00000000
"NotifyDownload"=dword:00000001
"NotifyInstall"=dword:00000001
"Frequency"=dword:01020000
"UpdateSchedule"=dword:0000000e

Until Sun learns how to use a public property, I'll only be trusting VBS to write the registry change.

Manu77, you are writing the keys at the wrong place. See the location and key of my work below.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Update\Policy]


yes, correct key is "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Update\Policy"

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Update\Policy
EnableJavaUpdate = thru registry.
and even set values JAVAUPDATE=0,AUTOUPDATECHECK=0;IEXPLORER=0,SYSTRAY=0;JU=0;

still its not able to disable UPDATE Tab Disable or disabling checkbox and also tried
with CA
strComputer = "."
Set StdOut = WScript.StdOut

Set oReg=GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" &_
strComputer & "\root\default:StdRegProv")

strKeyPath = "SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Update\Policy"

strValueName = "EnableAutoUpdateCheck"
dwValue = 0
oReg.SetDWORDValue HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,strKeyPath,strValueName,dwValue

strValueName = "EnableJavaUpdate"
dwValue = 0
oReg.SetDWORDValue HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,strKeyPath,strValueName,dwValue

By Placing it in ALL Custom action ->Call vb script from embedded code -Normal Execute defered system/user context syncronous exit code.

thanks in Advance

See post # 6.

This is what I deploy to all of the machines in our environment and no one gets any notifications of updates or anything...

I add both x86 and x64 changes for good measure!!!





: Disable Java Updates
: (x64)
reg add "HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\JavaSoft\Java Update\Policy" /v EnableJavaUpdate /d "00000000" /t REG_DWORD /f
: (x86)
reg add "HKLM\Software\JavaSoft\Java Update\Policy" /v EnableJavaUpdate /d "00000000" /t REG_DWORD /f
