RyanVM Posted November 19, 2004 Author Posted November 19, 2004 OK, here's a page with links to download some test builds. Please try these out and let me know which ones restart the computer and which ones don't (and the circumstances they were launched under, ie GuiRunOnce, Double click, etc...).http://www.ryanvm.net/msfn/jretestbuilds.html
anza Posted November 20, 2004 Posted November 20, 2004 Looks like that at least the test build #3 works when run from RunOnceEx.
x00783 Posted November 21, 2004 Posted November 21, 2004 How I got it to work.......I use WPI but should be the same command elsewhere just lose the WPI stuff.I extraced the 7z archive ad put it in my %systemdrive%\install in a folder called jre.Here is the WPI code I use and it works ok.prog[pn]=['Java2 Runtime Environment 1.5']desc[pn]=['A must have, if you want to run JAVA applications. <b>REQUIRED</b>']cmd1[pn]=['msiexec /i %systemdrive%\\install\\jre\\jre5.msi /qb /norestart ADDLOCAL=jrecore,extra /norestart']dflt[pn]=['yes']cat[pn]=['Internet Applications']forc[pn]=['true']ordr[pn]=[8]pn++
anza Posted November 21, 2004 Posted November 21, 2004 RyanVM, I tested the test build #3 on my own machine by doubleclicking the file (the first test was on VirtualPC and RunOnceEx, as I said before) and it rebooted.This is beginning to get really weird I have no idea why it sometimes works and sometimes it doesn't.I think I'll try the build #4 on my own machine soon, as I really wan't to get this working x00783, Why do you have the /norestart swithc twice in your code?
Lost Soul Posted November 21, 2004 Posted November 21, 2004 ive tested test 3 build and its having a fast reset after installing.ill keep testing the others

It was a typo. It worked on my machine that I had already installed. I think I might have found something interesting. When I tried the runonceex on an already installed OS (installed jre 1.4 from my unattended install, then uninstalled it to simulate no jre installed) it installed ok. At this point I assumed everythign was ok.I burnt the DVD to disc and performed the actual install with my switches as posted earlier and it gove me the message saying the computer should be restarted and I clicked no and it went on ok. The only thing that I can think of is that if there was or is an installation of JRE on your computer it wont force a restart. I am going to test some other witches and post back what I find out. This is certainly VERY interesting.Louis

x00783 Posted November 22, 2004 Posted November 22, 2004 Still kicking the crap out of me. I tried everything I can think of on this and still no look when installing from a fresh install. I think that if you had JRE already installed at some point then it wont give that stupid reboot.FYI. Tried reboot=supress and reboot=reallysuppres. no go.
RyanVM Posted November 22, 2004 Author Posted November 22, 2004 I'm beginning to wonder if it's a bug with the JVM
x00783 Posted November 22, 2004 Posted November 22, 2004 I'm beginning to wonder if it's a bug with the JVMBug? Never!
JPamplin Posted December 22, 2004 Posted December 22, 2004 Where? is this an update to Java 1.5.0? Can anyone provide a link?JP
a06lp Posted December 23, 2004 Posted December 23, 2004 i tried using the switchless version from ryanvm's page. it forces me to reboot...(I only called the exe, without switches, like it says to)
