September 30, 200421 yr I have a couple of peeves with Java. Among others are that it insist on creating a desktop shortcut and a start menu shortcut for JWS. I also am not fond of the autoupdate feature or the tray icon. If any of you also can't stand this, I made an mst file to get rid of these little annoyances from your installation. You can always turn the stuff on later from the Java CP if you want to.I tested the mst out on Win XP SP2 using VMware.jre5.mst
September 30, 200421 yr Author 5.0 doesn't create the desktop shortcut. And I already said that mine doesn't install the Autoupdate component.

And I already said that mine doesn't install the Autoupdate component.I deploy Java through GP quite a bit and the only way to modify things when you deploy that way is either direct msi editing or creating an mst file.I really prefer mass deployment through a GPO since you can later recall the application with a couple mouse clicks.
October 2, 200421 yr RyanVM, thanx for another all-in-one-program pack After the clean install XPSP2 (slipstreamed) with reg tweaks, and all necessary (J2RE 1.4.5 also) I'm having some strange problems with Java chat page(s).If i run this in background and in "front" some other program(s), this IE+Java window after some minutes just dissappears No error dialog, no nothing.Just dissappears.First i thought that it was some IE stuff, installed Firefox too, but it was the same.Then I realised that it must be a XPSP2 - Java 1.4.5 combination, because 1.4.5 on XPSP1 worked with no problem.I'm hoping that 1.5.0 would solve this problem...Should I first uninstall 1.4.5 or just to run the repackaged 1.5.0?
October 2, 200421 yr Author Uninstall first, then install (I don't think it'll let you install over top of the old version anyway)
October 2, 200421 yr When I launch the archive jre5.exe, at the end my computer reboot ! How to skip the reboot please??Thx
October 3, 200421 yr Try the old REBOOT=ReallySuppress trick. It ought to work since the installer uses msiexec.
October 3, 200421 yr Author OK, I just rebuilt the exe with a new config file. Let me know if this one still gives you restart problems. If it works, I'll rename the exe to the old name.EDIT: It works. File can be re-downloaded from the same URL as before.http://www.ryanvm.net/msfn/files/jre5.exe (9.01MB)
