Java 8u77 Deployment

Hello,
I'm trying to make a deployment of Java 8.77 for withMicrososft System Center Configuration Manager. using the next command on a script:

jre-8u77-windows-i586.exe INSTALL_SILENT=Enable AUTO_UPDATE=Disable WEB_JAVA=Enable WEB_JAVA_SECURITY_LEVEL=H WEB_ANALYTICS=Disable NOSTARTMENU=Enable REBOOT=Disable REMOVEOUTOFDATEJRES=1 /s /L C:\WINDOWS\CCM\Logs\InstalledAppLog\install_Java-8u77.log

I am facing a problem, while installing it with Micrososft System Center Configuration Manager Deployment.

the problem is, while I'm trying to install with my user (Admin) , every thing works fine:
java 8.77 installs and old version are uninstalled ( the "REMOVEOUTOFDATEJRES=1" Parameter make it).

but when I Deploying it from SCCM, the installation works, but old version are not uninstalled.

i have noticed that the SCCM java installation runs with windows "SYSTEM" account privileges.
so when i tried to install it manually using windows "SYSTEM" account, its really fails.

any suggestions ?

Thanks in Advance ,
Ariel.

 - REMOVEOUTOFDATEJRES removes only those JREs which are below the security baseline. Any that are above will not be removed.

- Use a variation of these command lines to remove unwanted JREs:

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

 rem Remove 64-bit flavours of JRE8
wmic product where "name like 'Java%%' AND identifyingNumber like '{26A24AE4-039D-4CA4-87B4-2F864%%'" call uninstall /nointeractive

 rem Remove 32-bit flavours of JRE8
wmic product where "name like 'Java%%' AND identifyingNumber like '{26A24AE4-039D-4CA4-87B4-2F832%%'" call uninstall /nointeractive

rem Remove Java 5-7 and Java fx, blah, blah, blah
wmic product where "name like 'Java 7%%'" call uninstall /nointeractive
wmic product where "name like 'JavaFX%%'" call uninstall /nointeractive
wmic product where "name like 'Java(TM) 7%%'" call uninstall /nointeractive
wmic product where "name like 'Java(tm) 6%%'" call uninstall /nointeractive
wmic product where "name like 'J2SE Runtime Environment%%'" call uninstall /nointeractive

- Your command line doesn't deal with the brain-dead "Your JRE is out-of-date" message which your users will eventually receive (and bombard your Helpdesk with). Google for 'JRE deployment.properties' and act accordingly.

Thanks For Your Answer.

let me complete missing information,
about all the rules stuff, I have skipped these details .

the script going like that :



when  I do install it  manually(with my user) , i don't receive any interactive message, its just uninstall older versions and it install as needs and expected the "8u77" version.

but when I do install it with "SYSTEM" user (PSEXEC -i -s -d CMD) ,or with SCCM deployment (its use SYSTEM user too) its install the new version (as needed) and it "don't" uninstall the older versions as did with my user.


about the WMI removal, there are few reasons becaouse I Prefer do not use it :

1. "wmic product"  query takes long time to get results in stations that have alot of software installations.
2. "wmic product"  query take too much resources
3. if there is the option build in the JRE package, and  it should work, why don't use it ?!

Thanks In Advance,
Ariel.

One, vendors suck at this stuff and let's not get started on an installer which is an EXE wrapping an MSI which wraps an EXE!

Two, as stated, the installer will - and does! - remove JREs which are BELOW THE SECURITY BASELINE but not those which are on or above it.

I suggest you build a "brute-force" uninstall MSI/script. After all, this junk is just files and registry data so have your uninstaller remove the Javasoft folder, the similarly-named registry key and then the various keys in the registry's "Uninstall" branch. Easy.

Hi, I am really struggling to install Java and was wondering if you could show us your complete script and sub-scripts?

I did some things myself but I can't get it work, ITNINJA is full of approaches but they don't seam to apply to my environment. If I could look at your script, powershell file, deployment.config and deployment.properties that would be really helpful.
