Command Lines: Command line details for installation and removal of this software. Details may include available command line arguments and/or public properties.

Example:
jre-6uXX-windows-i586-s.exe /s AgreeToLicense=YES IEXPLORER=1 MOZILLA=1 REBOOT=Suppress JAVAUPDATE=0

That installed the environment for Mozilla or IE, supresses the reboot, Supresses EULA, and disables updates.


I've found that the update software from previous versions may still be active so I also remove the registry entries and delete the updater program:
reg delete HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run /v SunJavaUpdateSched /f

IF EXIST "C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\jusched.exe" DEL "C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\jusched.exe"



Supported command argumants from java.com:
ADDLOCAL is either jrecore[,extra][,other_US] or ALL

IEXPLORER=1 indicates that the JRE should be registered with the Internet Explorer browser

NETSCAPE6=1 indicates that the JRE should be registered with Netscape 6 or later browsers

MOZILLA=1 indicates that the JRE should be registered with Mozilla 1.1 and later browsers

INSTALLDIR specifies the drive and path of the installation

REBOOT=Suppress indicates that if locked files are encountered the computer should not be rebooted

JAVAUPDATE=1 indicates that Java Update feature is enabled

EULA=1 indicates that End User License Agreement will be displayed on first use and not during installation

Notes: Shared "notes from the field" covering how to handle the automated installation of this software.

Be aware that if you run "jre-6u17-windows-i586-s.exe /?" you will see the normal msi options window, giving you the impression that you can use msi options on the installer. They do work but the installer will finish and execute another installer, which will give the impression that the installer has finished before it actually has.

Run "start /wait jre-6u17-windows-i586-s.exe /qb /norestart" to see for yourself.

Follow these steps to extract the .msi file from the Sun JRE installer for deployment through Active Directory based network:

1.Download and launch the Windows Offline Installation executable (.exe) file.

2.Navigate to LocalAppData folder (the user's Application Data folder). The location of the LocalAppData folder differs for each Windows platform.
•Windows Vista
C:\Users\</user>\AppData\LocalLow\Sun\Java\jre1.6.0_05\jre1.6.0_05.msi
•Windows XP
C:\Documents and Settings\</user>\Local Settings\ApplicationData\Sun\Java\ jre1.6.0_05\jre1.6.0_05.msi</user>
•Windows 2000
C:\Documents and Settings\</user>\ApplicationData\Sun\Java\jre1.6.0_05\ jre1.6.0_05.msi

3.From there, you can use Active Directory to distribute the Java Runtime Environment msi file to as many client Windows platforms as you want.

Java 6.0.180.79 - Finding MSI and MST files.

After downloading the installer, open your browser and naviget to:
(XP): c:\documents and settings\<username>\local settings\Temp

Start Java installation.
In the temp folder, sort by date, and notice the 6 files on the top, included 1 MSI file and 1 MST file.
I have experienced that the MSI and MST file are changing name, and my files are: 1586b005.msi and 1586b006.mst

I'm adding some registry entrys in the MST file:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Update\Policy]
"EnableJavaUpdate"=dword:00000000
"NotifyDownload"=dword:00000000
"NotifyInstall"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment\1.6.0_18\MSI]
"JAVAUPDATE"="0"
"AUTOUPDATECHECK"="0"
"MOZILLA"="1"


running it with:
msiexec /qn /i "1586b005.msi" TRANSFORMS="1586b006.mst"

It works, and there are no goolge toolbar with this installation :) I like...
