How do I disable Java Update during installation?

OK. I'm on a roll. Here's the detail. JRE installation packages are built using InstallShield Developer 7. The JRE installation executables include built-in support for silent (unattended) installations. In the command line we can do all sorts of fun stuff, but let's focus on topic. Here's a command line sample.

j2re-1_4_2_06-windows-i586-p.exe /s /v"/qn IEXPLORER=1 ADDLOCAL=ALL UPDATE=1 /L C:\jre.log"

Here is the command for silent installation, turning off automatic updates:

.exe /s /v "/qn[ADDLOCAL=jrecore[,extra][,other_US] | ALL] [IEXPLORER=1] [NETSCAPE6=1] [MOZILLA=1] [INSTALLDIR=:\] [REBOOT=Suppress] [JAVAUPDATE=0] [EULA=1]"

The options are described below.

 

  • .exe is the single executable installer for the JRE
  • ADDLOCAL is either jrecore[,extra][,other_US] or ALL
  • IEXPLORER=1 indicates that the JRE should be registered with the Internet Explorer browser
  • NETSCAPE6=1 indicates that the JRE should be registered with Netscape 6 or later browsers
  • MOZILLA=1 indicates that the JRE should be registered with Mozilla 1.1 and later browsers
  • INSTALLDIR specifies the drive and path of the installation
  • REBOOT=Suppress indicates that if locked files are encountered the computer should not be rebooted
  • JAVAUPDATE=1 indicates that Java Update feature is enabled
  • EULA=1 indicates that End User License Agreement will be displayed on first use and not during installation

See all the details for installation options at the Java web site.

Sorry to hear that Jim. I tested that carefully, but it was almost two years ago and you might have different versions and/or security set. Check out the Java silent install help at http://www.java.com/en/download/help/silent_install.xml for current information. Let me know if it helps!

Sure thing! That's what we're here for <g>. 
Unless something has changed that's not completely true. I've done it. I've not however messed with MSI's so you're going to have to test and let us know how it went!
