#1 Download the offline installer of the version that you want and bits (x86,x64). #2 Extract the MSI-file from the installer with a trick: Run the installer but do not proceed with the dialogues. Instead in a Windows 7 OS naviate to to find the MSI-files already extracted by the installer: %UserProfile%\AppData\LocalLow\Sun\Java #3 Create basic corporate customization to your installation with MST or as PARAMETERS AUTOUPDATECHECK=0 (Disables update check during installation). JAVAUPDATE=0. (Disables automatic updates). JU=0 (Disable another Update-related value) WEB_JAVA=0 (if you DO NOT WANT web browser plugins, else set to WEB_JAVA=1) #4 Always make sure that you REMOVE the OLD VERSION of Java before installing NEW #5 New Java (1.7.0.40) Creates shortcuts to START MENU, deal with them. #6 Old Java version do not like /passive MSI-switch, might error with (1602) as if user cancelled beacause of a pop up |
| Customize Java Deployment | |
| PROBLEM | You are deploying Java in a corporate environment, and want a deeper customize how the result will look like. |
| SOLUTION |
Distribute deployment.config before you launch Java installation C:\Windows\Sun\Java\Deployment\deployment.config deployment.system.config=c:\Windows\Sun\Java\Deployment\deployment.properties deployment.system.config.mandatory=true Distribute deployment.properties before you launch Java installation |
| Case: Disable “Your Java version is insecure” / “Update Java” | |
| PROBLEM | The dreaded “Your Java version is insecure” popup that terrified system administrators across the world during Java versions 1.7.0 – 1.7.44. |
| SOLUTION |
Notice: There is no true workaround for this problem. You can only suppress it as long as there was no more new version available. You would either have to:
A) Deploy the Java to the newest version instantly Since Java version 1.7.0.45 you can configure this as a basic customization. Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\AppDataLow\ Software\JavaSoft\DeploymentProperties] "deployment.expiration.decision.10.17.2"="later" "deployment.security.level"="LOW" "deployment.insecure.jres"="ALWAYS" "deployment.expiration.decision.timestamp.10.17.2"="9/6/2013 15:25:6" "deployment.javaws.autodownload"="NEVER" "deployment.version"="7.0" "deployment.security.mixcode"="DISABLE" "deployment.modified.timestamp"="1378470307603" "deployment.expired.version"="10.17.2" "deployment.expiration.decision.suppression.10.17.2"="true" |
