We want to update the JDK environment on multiple machines, all running windows but different versions (either XP or 7)
For that purpose, I'm now creating a script which will automatically run the correct installer (32/64 bit). I tried running the installer with the following command:
jdk-8u25-windows-x64.exe /s ADDLOCAL="ToolsFeature,SourceFeature,PublicjreFeature"
This works fine on a machine with no JDK/JRE 8 installed. However, I am running into a few issues:
- If JDK/JRE 8 is already installed, the installer UNINSTALLS both JDK & JRE instead of simply not doing anything (or re-installing)
- If a reboot is required it is forcefully performed automatically, and I need to avoid that as there are other actions I need to perform in the script after the installation completes.
- There is no VERBOSE mode / log file to indicate what the installer is actually doing
I have looked at these sources:
- JDK Installation for Microsoft Windows - Installing the JDK Silently
- Windows JRE Installer Options - Command-Line Installation
but they seem lacking and very confusing as to what will give me the wanted result.
I would tackle JDK and JRE separately:
The JDK does not depend on registry entries or whatever else the installer exe does. So install the JDK - without Public JRE - on just one machine using
jdk-8u25-windows-x64.exe /s ADDLOCAL="ToolsFeature,SourceFeature"
Then you can simply zip up the resulting installation, copy and unzip it to other machines of the same OS type.
The JRE installer (separate download from Oracle) can be run with options and config file as documented here : http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/install/windows_installer_options.html
Assuming the config is in the same directory as the installer exe, the option INSTALLCFG="%cd%\jre-install-options.cfg" can be used. Otherwise, a full path is required to the config file (INSTALLCFG="c:\path\to\jre-install-options.cfg"). So, something like this (with log file and assuming the config file is in the same directory of the exe):
jre-8-windows-i586.exe INSTALLCFG="%cd%\jre-install-options.cfg" /s /L C:\TMP\jre-install.log
It seems that the following jre-install-options.txt might work for you:
INSTALL_SILENT=Enable
REBOOT=Disable
STATIC=Enable
The config file options are listed here: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/install/config.html
The meaning of the last line is explained here : http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/install/windows_installer_options.html#static_installation
I was facing similar issue with /s option. I i found a jdk bug https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8033364. I seems they have removed support for help or s. Try /qn it worked for me
jdk-8u92-windows-x64.exe /qn
It seems there are constant changes to the supported commandline options. For the latest 8 Update 131, I had to abandon all msiexec style options because none of them worked. I used the documentation for the java version I downloaded to construct switches to the installer. As shown in answers above, the config file options can be passed to the installer on the commandline. The final command that I used in Packer to install Java on a Win2016 Server ami was:
Start-Process 'C:\Windows\Temp\jre-8u131-windows-x64.exe' `
-ArgumentList 'INSTALL_SILENT=Enable REBOOT=Disable SPONSORS=Disable' `
-Wait -PassThru
This command also adds Java to the system path by default, however not in the one it installs. Open a new powershell shell and it will be in the path for that shell (Inspect with $env.path)

For JRE silent installation :
start /wait msiexec /i "%~ java8.40x64.msi " JU=0 JAVAUPDATE=0 AUTOUPDATECHECK=0 RebootYesNo=No WEB_JAVA=1 /q
