Application deployment issue - Java 8 (Update 31)

[Aurock]

 

I'm trying to deploy Java 8 to our workstations for the first time, using v8u31. We currently have v7u71 installed.

 

I ran the EXE and grabbed the msi from it's location in appdata like I normally do. I understand that there's no longer a cab file to go with the msi, it's all included in the msi file itself. I created an application and deployment type in SCCM from the msi file as normal, but it's failing to install. I've searched online a bit and found several posts with varying syntax to use for the command line, but after trying each one I'm still getting the same failure with return code 1603.

 

I tried installing manually from a command prompt using one of the same command lines that was failing, and was able to install it successfully. Has anyone here been able to successfully deploy a recent version of Java as an application through SCCM? How did you do it?

 

Here's the section of AppEnforce.log showing the install attempt:

Lastly, I'm attaching the jusched.log file from c:\windows\temp, which appears to be the java's own install log file. Unfortunately, I see in there that it failed, but don't see an indication of why. . .

Hi,

 

I'm using the cmd line listed below. In SCCM, I've set the application to superseede java7upd71, and it only runs when no user is logged on.

 

msiexec /i jre1.8.0_31.msi /q JU=0 JAVAUPDATE=0 AUTOUPDATECHECK=0 RebootYesNo=No WEB_JAVA=1

 

/kman

I use a program named Orca to edit the MSI and re-package it. This is a program from Microsoft that you can get. For windows 8 though its called Super Orca (don't know why its super but it works great).

 

Here is the MSI opened in Super Orca. I have highlighted the area's I change so that the program doesn't try and auto-update on the users machines or reboot them.

 

 

Then I just go to File > SaveAs and save the file back down. I move it to my lab and do a few test runs on some boxes for scenerio testing. Once tested and verified the command line I want to use I then load it all up into SCCM and create the application.

 

Scenerios

- No Browsers open

- Browsers open

- Make sure /q switch works

 

Once that is done I use this command line to install

msiexec /i "Java.msi" /q

 

I've had about 50 machines show a failure but the rest install just fine. I'll have to work out the failure's and come up with a solution to those but this helps get the majority of my environment up and working.

Hello.

 

I use the MSI aslo for the deployment but I deploy it using a .bat file:

wmic product where "name like 'Java%'" call uninstall

jre1.8.0_25.msi /qn

copy JRENOUPD32.reg %Windir%

regedit /S %Windir%\JRENOUPD32.reg

copy JRENOUPD64.reg %Windir%

regedit /S %Windir%\JRENOUPD64.reg

I use the first line to make sure I remove previous Java installs. I've noticed that if you have Java 7vXX it creates issue with Java 8.

The reg files are used to stop the autoupdate depending on system architecure.

The 64 bit reg:
