Same switches as before for .msi-based install? I won't be able to test for about four more hours. (Grabbed the .msi from temp folder while installing on my work machine.)

I'll edit to post results after I test it.

EDIT: Yeah, the same switches work in this version as worked in the original 5.0 install.

@jrf2027 , i tried almost all switches that .msi installer recognizes
to my suprise i found that

/passive

switch works and doesn't reboot PC.
my batch looks something like this:

ECHO.
ECHO Installing Sun Java
ECHO Please wait...
start /wait %cdrom%\Install\Sun_Java\Java2_Runtime_Environment_5.0.msi /passive 
ECHO Installation Successful!

My .msi is about 9.85mb

/passive is the command for Windows Installer v3.0 only.

you can use this command

start /wait jre5.msi /QB IEXPLORER=1 NETSCAPE6=1 MOZILLA=1 REBOOT=Suppress

It will install plugin for IE, Netscape 6 and Mozilla 1.1 and later browsers
more command can be found form here.

While what you posted is basically correct, you might want to reference the correct docs for the version you're using next time. One thing that's changed is that NETSCAPE6 is no longer a valid command.

[larciel]

where can i get .msi files for the update?

[titou2k]

run setup and get msi in the temp folder

[larciel]

so what's the advantage of using .msi file over the .exe w/ silent switch?

smaller file size? is that all?

[larciel]

where's the temp folder located at?

[MCT]

im guessing %tmp%

EDIT:

@ryanvm

r u planning to make a switchless installer for this update too? so i know whether or not to go ahead with the normal way?

[larciel]

tried this update.. and it gives me 'run-time' error about 5 times a day, and when i visit certain sites (www.bananarepublic.com , victoriassecret.com ) it's 100% crash

i went back to 1.5 and it's working fine

just a heads up

But of course

Ryan, you can also use this:

jre50.msi /qb-! /passive REBOOT=ReallySuppress SYSTRAY=0 WEBSTARTICON=0 ADDLOCAL=jrecore IEXPLORER=1 MOZILLA=1 JAVAUPDATE=0

This prevents the coffeecup in systray.

And your site is offline.

[totoymola]

jre50.msi /qb-!

Can someone explain to me the purpost of the ! again?

[Nomi]

I guess "!" makes Cancel button invisible.

Re this update 501, I don' know whats goin on if I do a clean install of it in windows installs fine & doesn't reboot when I install UA from dvd using Runonceex off %cdrom% always causes a reboot & fails to install my next app & reboots & completes the rest of the apps??

Heres my code:

REG ADD %KEY%\130 /VE /D "Sun Java msi update 501" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\130 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\Software\Sunjava\jre501.msi /qb-! /passive REBOOT=ReallySuppress SYSTRAY=0 WEBSTARTICON=0 ADDLOCAL=jrecore IEXPLORER=1 JAVAUPDATE=0" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\140 /VE /D "Spybot Search & Destroy" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\140 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\Software\spybot\spybot.exe" /f

It however installs the Sunjava but misses Spybot upon the next reboot?
Spybot will normally install OK.
