JRE upgrade issue : need help

Dear Friends,

I am trying to upgrades all pervious versions of java using major upgrde. Details are as belows:

I have to uninstall following version of JRE using JRE version 6.0.130:

5.0.60.5
6.0.20.6
6.0.30.5
6.0.50.13
6.0.60.2

I have done all the needful, that is, changed product code, changed project code, changed version (all were already differnt from previous version). Added upgrade item in Wise package studio in upgrade section.

RemoveExistingProducts sequencing is prior to InstallInitialize in InstallExecuteSection.

But.....Upgrade is not happening at all. Previous versions are still there.[:@]

Could anyone please advise, what is wrong. Am I doing something worong, or missed some steps.

Will appreciate all the help.

Thanks,

I don't think JRE is upgradeable, as such. The different flavours are designed to live side-by-side: hence the discrete folders 'C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_10', 'C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_01', etc.

You'll need to uninstall them.

RemoveExistingProduct is conditioned as
REMOVEEXISTING Or (MODE="C" And (PREV_CONSUMER_VERSION<JDK_VERSION))

PLease check the condition result to analyze the upgrade.

Jeeoo!

Hi VBScab,

I understand that JRE version can be installed side by side. But is there any way to uninstall it via upgrade using my latest version of JRE.

Thanks,

I had this same problem. We had so many different versions of Java installed on all of our machines I didnt want to go to each machine to remove all the different copies.. I found out how to push the latest version down.. and also learned how to quitely remove older version(used 1.5.0 as the oldest.) so I made a list of the versions of jre that was installed.. and have all the older version uninstall before installing the newest version.

install_java.bat - used netping to install or you can use psexec.exe.

PUSHD "\\server\installs\java"
rem JQS.exe hangs sometimes.. so I kill it.
taskkill /IM jqs.exe /f
rem uninstall all previous version from 1.5.0 to 1.6.12 -. when it moves to 1.6.14 then add 1.6.13 to the uninstall.

rem install latest version silently .. no autoupdate either.
START /WAIT jre-6u13-windows-i586-p.exe /s IEXPLORER=1 AUTOUPDATECHECK=0 REBOOT=Suppress
POPD

It seems to work well here..
I also do this with Adobe reader.. it actually works quite well with them both.

I would recommend this method. I used it & it works like a charm! Created a permanent java Uninstall ZSERVICE in our radia environment to use as a prereq. As we update java, i just update the batch file with the current version to add to the uninstall.

It's not doing wrong per se... Sometimes a packager hosed up the versioning. Try:

VersionMin = 0
VersionMax = (*leave this blank*)
Attributes =256



Do I have to tick both options 'Include minimum version in range' and 'Include Maximum version in range'??

Please suggest

Can we put thse command in landesk deployment tool?
