Java via SCUP/WSUS

That used to be possible:

Then with edited msi:

http://www.klaus-hartnegg.de/gpo/msi_java8.html

but now with Java 8 Upd 60 I could not get it working (edited msi give 2705 error)

msi can be extracted or downloaded from http://java.techygeekshomeSPAM!/instructions

 

What are people using for java updates?

 

Thanks

What are people using for java updates?

 

cmd script to install 8u60 from an unmodified msi, then look for older versions and uninstall them. It works, but... bleh. :\

[spgsitsupport]

That script being what? Unmodified 8u60 msi just chokes & insist on running from exe

jre1.8.0_60.msi

SHA256 = 8371F27009A9286CAC0D9812E0411DDBFCB106456E46FFEC50E64054E75E4632

 

 

I think I grabbed it from %temp% while running the .exe.

msiexec /i "%~dp0jre1.8.0_60.msi" JU=0 JAVAUPDATE=0 AUTOUPDATECHECK=0 RebootYesNo=No WEB_JAVA=1 /q
call "%~dp0removeOld8.cmd"

and the removeOld8 script (modified July 2016 - they changed the MSI code when they rolled to update 101 and needed to accomodate for that) is:
