Software Deployment

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,

Hi Santro,

I removed the condition still no luck...

could there be any other reason?

please suggest

Dear Experts,

Please give your kind comments on this.

Many Thanks,

what does your upgrade table look like?

It has an entry for each previous version. so that upgrade can work.

Really? Wow!

interested in these columns...

VersionMin
VersionMax
Attributes
ActionProperty

VersionMin
VersionMax
Attributes
ActionProperty

VersionMin = 1.6.0.20
VersionMax = 6.0.130
Attributes =256
ActionProperty =UPGRADE_1

informed the values of columns...could you advise what is going wrong?

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

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

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.

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*)

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

Please suggest
