MSI install Scripting fails. I think its something to do with the after installation batch file.
Hi.
We have a java update msi script here which seems to run and the product installs ok.
Except the run now status shows failing.
here is the log
Creating process returned non-zero: C:\ProgramData\Dell\KACE\kbots_cache\packages\kbots\157\kace3203.bat : (0) The operation completed successfully.
Error Code: 0
Status Code: 1
Im sure its something to do with this status code of 1. although it says it completed ok.
Here is what the batch file does.
%SystemRoot%\System32\taskkill.exe /f /im jusched.exe
%SystemRoot%\System32\Reg.exe DELETE HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run /v SunJavaUpdateSched /f
%SystemRoot%\System32\Reg.exe DELETE HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run /v SunJavaUpdateSched /f
%SystemRoot%\System32\Reg.exe DELETE "HKLM\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Update" /f
%SystemRoot%\System32\Reg.exe DELETE "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\JavaSoft\Java Update" /f
anyone any ideas

Why do people make java installs so complicated???
Run the setup.exe on a machine.
Get the extracted MSI and deploy that. if you only deploy the Java MSI and not the update MSI you don't get all those pesky updates things that you need to remove.
Why not just use the builtin scripting tasks to do this? - htomlinson 9 years ago
