Removing old versions of Java and Installing the new versions of Java

[sothpaw]

Hey Everyone,

 

I've got a batch file that I'm trying to get to work and seem to be running into difficulties on getting the whole batch file to work. I'm guessing that I have something missing or incorrect. What I'm trying to accomplish is we currently have Java versions 7.0.45 both x64 & x86 platforms installs on all production client machines. My batch file will uninstall the x86 version of Java 7.0.45 and then install the latest version of Java 7.0.51 x86 without any problems. It's the x64 that my batch file is running into problems and does not uninstall it or install the new version of java (7.0.51 x64).

 

 

Here's what my batch file looks like:

 

@ECHO OFF

cls

:KillIE&JavaProcesses

echo *** This will kill Browsers and Java Processes ***

Rem ***

taskkill /F /IM iexplorer.exe

taskkill /F /IM iexplore.exe

taskkill /F /IM firefox.exe

taskkill /F /IM chrome.exe

taskkill /F /IM jusched.exe

taskkill /F /IM jp2launcher.exe

taskkill /F /IM java.exe

taskkill /F /IM javaw.exe

taskkill /F /IM jqs.exe

rem cd x64

rem msiexec.exe /i jre1.7.0_51.msi /qn AUTOUPDATECHECK=0 JAVAUPDATE=0 JU=0 EULA=1 /NORESTART /log c:\java_7_51_x64_install.log

rem cmd.exe /C rmdir "%PROGRAMDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Java" /S/q

rem cd..

cd x86

msiexec.exe /i jre1.7.0_51.msi /qn AUTOUPDATECHECK=0 JAVAUPDATE=0 JU=0 EULA=1 /NORESTART /log c:\java_7_51_x86_install.log

cmd.exe /C rmdir "%PROGRAMDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Java" /S/q

The CM 2012 exemgr log shows that the batch file installed successfully. Please help.

Thanks!
