Hi, My .MSI is working. I try it on 1 computer with no previous version and it is fine. the issue is when there is a previous version of java install. So, I did another test. I removed 1 computer from the previous verison of java (6.14) and try to install the new one (6.23) and it is not workign. When I removed the computer from the gpo (6.14), java does not unisntall... Can anyone tell me why when I removed the computer from the GPO java does not unistall like my oher program. SInce we manage 850 computer, this is a big issue. I am doing whant I can since the previous admin walk away without leaving any information on how he made upde is msi file, the modification apply, etc. SO, anyone can tell me why tje java program does'nt uninstall when I remove the gpo from the computer ? Thansk again to anyone who send me answer/information/advice, etc.

Hi Michael, I did the modification in the msi with Orca, then I selected transform, and apply transform to the .mst file. In Java 6 update 2, i have 2 .mst file, I have the jre1036.mst file and the sp1036.mst. Did you modify both ? Maybe this is where i am mistaken ? Basically a have 4 files: jre1.6.0_26.msi, data1.cab, jre1036.mst and sp1036.mst And one extra question. The actual version install from teh previous gpo is Java 6 update 14. Will it overrite teh previous version or I have to withdraw the actual java 6 update 14 gpo from the computers and the add the Java 6 update 23 gpo when it will work ? thanks, again, I feel like it will be solve soon !

Thanks for the answer. bmittleider: having a specific version already install on the windows image of the computer cause issue regarding some programm that must have a specific version of Java. So the windows image does,nt have any other program than windows itself. Every other program are msi deploy by GPO. But, I was using the java.com version, so I will give a shot for the java.sun.com in case. Sted: yes, I do have the data1.cab as well as the msi file. Still no go. Keep sending comemnt, information, that way I may find somethign to make it work. thanks you again

Hi everyone, I have this issue, and got stock to the last problem. there is. I got the Java 6 Update 23 msi by installing the java with the offline version and pick up the msi in the documents and setting/user/application data/sun. in fact I take the msi, cab, and mst files. I ussed Orca to modify the properties of the msi (turn off automatic update check, java update, systray and turn on IE, mozilla, EUla an SDKsilent). I was thinking that I had all my options and that the installation will be silent, butno, When launching the msi, it ask me to confirme the destination folder for the installation and the rest of it is install silent, but my .msi does'nt work in gpo because it ask the destination folder. I did search in installdir in the msi, but I did not find where or how make it silent and install in the default destination folder. Someone can help me. I did search over the web, but I am stuck a the last step.. thanks
