What it does, and what not

It Does:

  1. Handle install: x64 and x86, JRE and JDK
  2. Handle uninstall: x64 and x86, JRE of Java 1.6.0.10 until 1.8.0.151, JDK of Java 1.7.0.0 until Java 8u202
  3. Installation of Java 8
  4. Add the JCE Patch to every Java installation; see: JCE Documentation
  5. Use the check_msi-exitcode script from “Der-Matze”: check_msi-exitcode (modified)

It Does NOT:

  1. Uninstall Java versions older then 1.6.0.10, because in update 10 was a new installer dropped which uses an other schema of GUID´s at the Windows Registry
  2. Uninstall Java JDK`s older then 1.7.0.0
  3. Un-/Install Java 9

Notes

The package includes the MSI installer for the JRE and JDK x86, because if you want to install Java JRE/JDK x86 on a x64 System the EXE installer will “crash” if it was called in a SYSTEM user context. Calling it by hand will work and my package is designed to manage both cases.

It “crashes” in a SYSTEM user environment, because the x86 installer of Java would exteact a MSI package on a x86 System into “C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\LocalLow\Sun\Java” and call a MSI file and will install Java.
But on a x64 System the Java installer want to extract the MSI package into the same directory. At this point Windows (x64) redirect the request to “C:\Windows\SysWOW64\config\systemprofile\AppData\LocalLow\Sun\Java”. The x86 Java installer does NOT notice the important redirect and still try to call the MSI file and explode with a, File not found, exeption.

There is no error-reporting or handling by the Java (EXE) installer done, but msiexec.exe does report an 1619 (PACKAGE_OPEN_FAILED) exitcode.

This happends only on x64 System`s. My package will ever prefer of using the EXE installer, the MSI files were only called in a fallback case!

TODO

  1. Add feature; Install X.509 (root) Certificates into the Java Certificate chain.
  2. Change uninstall procedure using WMCI or Powershell, to avoid generating wrong uninstall strings. (Thanks Andreas)
  3. Nothing else at the moment.. If you have any suggestions, let me know :)
