Oracle Java new version this time 1.6_31
When I deploy a new Java version I change the following settings in the MSI
standardsetting => newsetting
IEOPEN 0 => 1
IEXPLORER 0 => 1
JAVAUPDATE 1 => 0
JU 0 => 1
MODYFYREMOVE modyfy => remove
RebootYesNo Yes => No
SYSTRAY 1 => 0
This works ok, but fails if IE is started resulting the install to retry
IE is started by logon so it is running almost any time, I know I could get arund this, but I would like to hear what You usely do
in this common senario
The IEOPEN setting = 0 or 1 will that be an other option given that IE is running during install

I've deployed it, but didnt have IE launching from login... in your shoes I would probably just run a script first to kill IE, using whatever deployment system you've got to sequence the script before the install.

I deploy using SCCM, I have a Script that could be used for Killing a running process, before install but I just thought it was a little hard action to do, someone could lose data in the process. - Sweede 12 years ago
Check for any custom action that tries to see if IE is open or not and disable from the sequence.
Hello Sweede,
first you could - as already mentioned - stop the IE-process
(e. g. using taskkill).
But more important is this article from Oracle, telling that since
update 1.6.0.10 the options 'ADDLOCAL', 'IEXPLORE' and
'MOZILLA' are deprecated:

Questions:
What is 'MODYFYREMOVE modyfy => remove' and why
shouldn't users see the Java-Symbol in the systemtray?
Thank you!

Bernd
