RyanVM Posted December 23, 2004 Author Share 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)If you would have taken the time to read the thread, you'd know that the reboot problems are well known about already.The good news is that I have yet to see a reboot in my early playing around with the updated release. I'll probably post that new release within a couple days (going to be having very limited internet access shortly). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoccerCore11 Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 I was running the java package from your site onto a xp sp2 cd during in the runonceex and it restarted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neuro42 Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 Well the good news is, put it at the end of your runonce file and then you dont need to include the line to restart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Methanoid Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 I know poor RyanVm has bandwidth issues.. I see one file is mirrored elsewhere (thanks) but I dont see the Java VM mirrored in Ryan's pack.I'd be happy enough to get the thing in my Hotmail and I'm not about to complain about rebooting... like it has been said I could always put it at the end of the install!

JPamplin Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 Yeah, that's exactly what I have done. In fact, I extracted the MSI out of Java's own package, just to see what would happen, and IT reboots as well. So Ryan, don't think it's you.I just tack it on to the end of my apps install script and the PC reboots like clockwork. No shutdown.exe needed. ;-)JP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a06lp Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 I just tack it on to the end of my apps install script and the PC reboots like clockwork. No shutdown.exe needed. ;-)Obviously that is a solution. But hopefully when RyanVM's bandwidth comes back up, there'll be a fixed version, which we can install whenever we want without having to reboot.<fingers crossed> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoccerCore11 Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 YES! I got it to work with the updated version in RunOnceEx using the following:REG ADD %KEY%\65 /VE /D "Sun JRE 1.5.0.01" /fREG ADD %KEY%\65 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\Software\JRE5.exe /s /v\"/qn ADDLOCAL=jrecore,extra IEXPLORER=1 REBOOT=Suppress JAVAUPDATE=0\"" /f Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanVM Posted December 31, 2004 Author Share Posted December 31, 2004 See the thread in my signature if you want access to my FTP.It appears in my early testing that Update 1 doesn't have the restart issues which have plagued the initial release so badly. I'll of course want some people who've had restart problems to try it out and let me know.Send me a PM if you're interested in being my guinea pig.

DKRendeR Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 I'm not sure if this helps or not...but on the page describing silent installs on the sun java page (http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/deployment/deployment-guide/silent.html) it says, and I quote:REBOOT=Suppress, if used, indicates that if locked files are encountered the computer should not be rebootedSo, I'm thinking that even though we think we're telling it not to reboot, it WILL reboot because setup doesn't encounter any "locked files"... and thus the computer reboots. It might also explain why some people's computers are rebooting, and some other's are not. Different files are being used on each person's computer.EDIT: I POSSIBLY may have got this to install properly without reboot. I'm just executing this from Start -> Run.... I'm using the installer from java.sun.com version 1.5.0 Update 1 with the switches:jre5.exe /s /v"/qn ADDLOCAL=jrecore IEXPLORER=1 REBOOT=Suppress JAVAUPDATE=0" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesas Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 has any one confirmed the swicthes to make it not restart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanVM Posted December 31, 2004 Author Share Posted December 31, 2004 I've got a switchless installer for Update 1 created, but nobody has PMed me to test it yet. My tests indicate that things are working fine, but I was only ever able to reproduce the restarts in one way (double clicking the exe from the desktop to run it).

graysky Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 perhaps this is a stupid question, but what are the major differences for the average user between 1.4.2 and the new 5.0 release? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanVM Posted December 31, 2004 Author Share Posted December 31, 2004 Here's a yousendit link for you guys to try.http://s8.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=0HOKX3PHYTWGF18TI1QXYESXVJLet me know if it restarts for you or not. Again, this is a switchless installer. If you try to run it with switches, chances are very good that it will behave erratically!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
