Aaron Posted October 19, 2003 Share Posted October 19, 2003 Looks like they might have changed something. I'm not sure what build I was using at the time I wrote up http://www.MSFN.org/unattended/xp/applicat...ons/sunjava.htm but I'll go download the latest version and see what's up.

Westi Posted October 19, 2003 Author Share Posted October 19, 2003 There is already a setup.iss in the package, but it is the same who is created by 'setup -r' and it don't work..For information:There are some security-leaks in previous versions of Sun-Java, not as many as in MSJava, but if you use an alternative browser, you should use this version.

RyanVM Posted October 19, 2003 Share Posted October 19, 2003 Why not use 1.4.2_01? It silently installs just fine (I had to do a search on Sun's site for how to do it, but I found the info eventually). Here's how:ECHO Installing Sun Java2 Runtime Environment 1.4.2_01...start /wait %systemdrive%\Updates\j2re142_01.exe /s /v"/qn ADDLOCAL=jrecore,extra REBOOT=Suppress"The extra is some sounds IIRC, so you can do just jrecore to get the basic functionality. You'll be wanting the 14.3MB install package for this. Another conveniant piece of info:;No System Tray Icon for Java VM[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Plug-in\1.4.2_01]"HideSystemTrayIcon"=dword:00000001Frankly, I don't know why people still use the MS JavaVM. It's so outdated it's sick. Based of the 1.1.x core. Half the reason for why Java is broken for so many people or runs like crap is because they're using a VM that's so horribly out of date. Sun's JVM has come a LONG way and works extremely well at this point. And Sun's has more security holes? You're joking, right? Please tell me you were only kidding.Just because MS doesn't update their VM anymore doesn't mean it's no longer full of holes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenMachine Posted October 19, 2003 Share Posted October 19, 2003 Different strokes for different folks: I'm sure Sun Java is better, and I would love to use it, but what makes ME sick is finding the files it writes all over the system .somethingorother, and tracers, not to mention the stupid little icon in the system tray. I looked all over thier site, too, and even after following their directions, I could not control half of those things. Perhaps later releases have improved, but I got so frustrated I just dropped it. (I will note those switches, just in case.)not as many as in MSJavaCalm down! You mis-read...

Just so you know, that registry entry I put in my post disables that tray icon . And yes, I did misread. Silly me .And glad to be of help, westi .

1chaoticadult Posted October 19, 2003 Share Posted October 19, 2003 its funny RyanVM that the silent install for java 1.42_01 was posted in silent switches thread except with the addlocal commmand which it helpful.
