66 now out

66 was released on the same day as 65. It's not new.

 

Edit. 65 is a Critical Patch Update (CPU) and 66 is a Patch Set Update (PSU). Oracle recommends that most users install the former.

 

www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/cpu-psu-explained-2331472.html

 

What is the difference between a Java CPU and PSU release?

Java SE Critical Patch Updates (CPU) contain fixes to security vulnerabilities and critical bug fixes. Oracle strongly recommends that all Java SE users upgrade to the latest CPU releases as they are made available. Java SE CPU releases are odd numbered versions (i.e. 7u71, 7u65 – see more on Java SE version numbering schemes here).

 

Java SE Patch Set Updates (PSU) contain all of fixes in the corresponding CPU, as well as additional non-critical fixes. Java PSU releases should only be used if you are being impacted by one of the additional bugs fixed in that version. The release notes call out the additional fixes available in Java SE PSU releases.

I am trying to create a software push for Landesk 9.6 and it keeps failing when using the offline exe. Can I use this MSI to install the package? Every time I try to install JUST using the MSI I get an error saying "There is a problem with this windows installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor." Is there something I need to do to get the MSI to install Java when Java isn't already present on the machine?

If you create a blank text file called java.settings.cfg in %ProgramData%\Oracle\Java prior to installing the MSI, does it then work?

[twinkyman90]

I have a program data folder under c:\Program Data. And I created the file there and tried and it still didn't work. Do you mean to put it in the same directory as the msi? Or in C:\program data. My java MSI is in C:\Users\kevint\AppData\LocalLow\Oracle\Java\jre1.8.0_65.msi. I have tried putting it there, and in several other locations to no avail. I am running Windows 10. It also DOES work on Windows 7. Just tried it. Edited November 23, 2015 by twinkyman90
