packaging Java custom settings?
Hello all,
I know that this has been covered in other post, but I wasnt able to get this to work. I am trying to have a standard deployment.properties. throughout the company. I saw the old post about having a sytem wide deployment using a deployment.config and deployment.properties at C:\WINDOWS\sun\java\deployment. I copied and pasted the same exact syntax that the other post had and it did nothing. As well as putting it on C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_05\lib, both did not work. My guess is that the syntax on deployment.config is wrong but I tried this: deployment.system.config=file\:C\:/WINDOWS/Sun/Java/Deployment/deployment.properties and that did not work as well as trying to add \\'s. To test if the config worked, I added no updates and to have it locked just like the other post, but under java control panel showed none of this applied.
The old post i was refferring to is: http://itninja.com/question/jre-1.6.0_05-automatic-update---deployment.properties-problems

people have advocated the deployment.properties method, but I tried and found it not to work. Since sun doesn't use windows installer to do anything important, I just put in a couple of custom actions to hide/disable updates, then for good measure delete the files jucheck.exe and jusched.exe from INSTALLDIR\bin
Rating comments in this legacy AppDeploy message board thread won't reorder them,so that the conversation will remain readable.
