teh Java is broken everywheres! :(

Help

 

It came to my attention the other day that the java plugin on all PC's/laptops has stopped working. I tried re-deploying via GP (didnt work) and then tried deploying the newer version (again, didnt work)

 

The only way I could get it to work was manually uninstall and re-install. I cannot do this on 500+ PC's

 

We are running java 1.6.02 and IE7 with a mix of vista & XP clients

 

Any ideas?

If you create an autoit script, you could re-install silently

 

This is mine.

 

If FileExists("c:\program files\java\javainstalled") Then
Exit
Else

;Block mouse/keyboard input	
BlockInput(1)

;Display status message, run exe wait till finished, Turn message off.
SplashTextOn("Java Install", @CRLF & @CRLF & @CRLF & "Installing Java Runtime Environment pease wait for" & @CRLF & "this screen to close before continuing." & @CRLF & "Completed - 0/2","500","200","-1","-1",0,"","","")

;Run java 1.4 installer.
RunWait('\\server\share$\j2re-1_4_2_17-windows-i586-p.exe /s /v"/qn IEXPLORER=1 ADDLOCAL=ALL /L C:\windows\temp\j1.4.log" ')
Splashoff()

;Run java 1.6 installer.
SplashTextOn("Java Install", @CRLF & @CRLF & @CRLF & "Installing Java Runtime Environment Please wait for" & @CRLF & "this screen to close before continuing." & @CRLF & "Completed - 1/2","500","200","-1","-1",0,"","","")
RunWait('\\server\share$\jre-6u7-windows-i586-p-s.exe /s')

;creates directory call javainstalled.
DirCreate("c:\program files\java\javainstalled")

;Display message that installer has finished then exit.
Splashoff()
SplashTextOn("Java Install", @CRLF & @CRLF & @CRLF & @CRLF & "Installation complete","500","200","-1","-1",0,"","","")
sleep(3000)

;unblock mouse/keyboard input
BlockInput(0)
;turn any messages off.
SplashOff()
EndIf

 

Just need to change the link to where the exe files are for 1.4 and 1.6. Can take out 1.4 as we needed it for some software.

 

If you need any help with it pm me.

In the list, check that the Java Active X controls are enabled. Java 1.6.02 is a fairly old version. Here's how to get the latest version and the MSI for deployment which should do the trick.
