I figured it out, so since I typically don’thave issues like this I will share my experiences just in case any of you runinto the same issues! Using the EXE like it states in the releasenotes for java 8 has issues, and not sure why! jre-8u25-windows-i586.exe/s will not install via SCCM on awindows 7 64 bit OS jre-8u25-windows-x64.exe/s will install perfectly fine on awindows 7 64 bit OS Problem here is that I am unable to setupthe autoupdate stuff that I wish to turn off and I just really like MSI’s J If you run the extracted MSI by hand itgives the following error, even though it prompts for elevation. “theinstallation package could not be opened. Verify that the package exists andthat you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that thisis a valid windows installer package.” If you open a command prompt and execute it,it runs silently already for you…. So do not add the /qb or/QB to the commandline as it then gives the installer error again. I am using the following commands by handat the moment and seems to be good to go, except it looks like the installer doesn’tcare that I am turning off auto updates, so I will do a registry hack with apowershell script after the installer is complete. jre1.8.0_25x32.msi AUTO_UPDATE=0 EULA=0 NOSTARTMENU=1SPONSORS=0 WEB_ANALYTICS=0 WEB_JAVA=1 WEB_JAVA_SECURITY_LEVEL=H jre1.8.0_25x64.msi AUTO_UPDATE=0 EULA=0 NOSTARTMENU=1SPONSORS=0 WEB_ANALYTICS=0 WEB_JAVA=1 WEB_JAVA_SECURITY_LEVEL=H

This seems stupid, but i followed what i always do to extract the .msi from the exe and it tells me “the installation package could not be opened. Verify that the package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid windows installer package.” when i just double click on the installer... did something change on where to get the offline installer? i used the following link to get to the offline version (http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp) , downloaded, executed the exe and went to appdata and copied the .msi version 8 has no cab file so i am good there. copied the msi and placed it on my desktop. double clicked and the message appears. URGH! I have read that there is a enterprise installer but it is available only if you have paid support which I do not!
