get the MSI-file from the EXE-file:

To unpack the .msi file, first launch the EXE file. In the first that appears query the MSI file is then in one of the following directories:

XP: C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\<user>\Anwendungsdaten\Sun\Java\jre1.8.0_25
Windows Vista and Windows 7: C:\Users\<user>\AppData\LocalLow\Sun\Java\jre<version_number>

  • This good stuff. Do you know where the latest version of Java is hiding the MSI? The msi is not in the Windows 7: C:\Users\<user>\AppData\LocalLow\Sun\Java\jre<version_number> folder anymore - Sven10075 8 years ago
    • check in the uninstall registry key for InstallSource. - apptopack 8 years ago
  • C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\LocalLow\Oracle\Java\<version_number>\jre<version_number>.msi - bam 8 years ago

Note
No need to overcomplicate things. The registry entries can be added inside a transform along with any other wanted settings that you would put inside the .cfg-file. The command line builds perfectly fine either way you chose. I'm not sure which properties we used to have in Java 7 are still needed, but I have included them anyway.

jre1.8.0_25.mst:
[New properties]
AUTO_UPDATE 0
EULA 0
IEXPLORER  //Still necessary?
INSTALL_SILENT 1
JU  //Still necessary?
NOSTARTMENU 1
REBOOT 0
STATIC 0
WEB_ANALYTICS 0

[Changed properties]
AUTOUPDATECHECK 0 //Still necessary?
JAVAUPDATE 0 //Still necessary?

[New registry entries]
a_notifyreg 2 SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Update\Policy NotifyDownload #0 jz
a_updatereg 2 SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Update\Policy EnableJavaUpdate #0 jz
a_updatereg0 2 SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Update\Policy EnableAutoUpdateCheck #0 jz

If you, like me, want an installation with your countries regional settings the command line would then be:

msiexec.exe /i jre1.8.0_25.msi TRANSFORMS=:1053;jre1.8.0_25.mst /qb-!

Note
Here is how I deployed Java 8 u25 via a managed install.

1.) Create a new distrubuition for Java 8 u25
2.) Upload the MSI
3.) Select configure manually
4.)  Input this command      msiexec /i jre1.8.0_25.msi JU=0 JAVAUPDATE=0 AUTOUPDATECHECK=0 RebootYesNo=No WEB_JAVA=1 /q
5.) Select "Don't Prepend"

This will silently install java 8 u25 for you. (note I did this after I removed the old versions of java)
