Great! I must have had a typo in the config file or something.

I'm trying to install the java 5.0 development kit (not only JRE).

I extracted the msi from the setup exe then I tried silently installing it with those switches :

java.msi /qb ADDLOCAL=ALL IEXPLORER=1 MOZILLA=1 REBOOT=Suppress JAVAUPDATE=0

but I still have the message asking if I want to reboot at the end.

I also tried with REBOOT=ReallySuppress but it doesn't work either.

Anybody has an idea about what's wrong ?

Just so you all know, while thsi version does add many things, I just want to let you know that there are still a lot of bugs that need to be squashed..how do I know? Well, im a java programmer

Thanks,

but wait - is it the JAVA that if i install it, i'll get support for java scripts in the net? cuz the last version was 1.4.2 (to 5.0?)

Java5 was originally going to be released as version 1.5.0. Sun changed their mind and named it 5.0 for some reason unbeknownst to me (I think they wanted version number parity with some of their products or their competitors' products).

so actually its new version of j2re?

yes

The JRE files from both of Ryan's links are still rebooting after installation.

Not on my system...

doesnt do it on mine either...

@RyanVM

Is the j2re 1.4.2_05 installer you made still available ?

'cuz I use Eclipse (code editor) and I believe they haven't published a release that works well with jre1.5 yet

this works for me with no reboot

setup.exe /s /v " /qn ADDLOCAL=ALL IEXPLORER=1"

Nope.

EDIT: And nothing irritates me more than when people post a reply in a thread AND PM me the same question. (Of course, then there's the people who feel the need to take that one step further and IM me and email me as well). One form of asking is good enough!

Hey Ryan...on my system your Installer of the Runtime Environment reboots after installation....are there any switches the install needs so that it doesn't reboot?

... and I'm sorry about that one.

Asked the question on the forum first, then thought about some other questions, which would have been out-topic here, so I asked them all in PM, this one included.

All apologizes, will use my brain BEFORE writing, next time
