Ok, so I'm getting very frustrated by the new Java 7. Feels like none of the current vendor software our company uses works properly with it. Virtually all of my vendors are suggesting a return to Java 6. So, what I'd like is a miracle script. I don't mind if it's .bat or .vbs or even a sexy .msi installer, but what I want to accomplish is this:
1. Uninstall ALL versions of the Java Runtime Environment
2. Install Java 6.45
3. Turn OFF automatic updating.
All my machines are running windows 7 pro x86 (32bit) All are active directory joined, and have local user admin rights.
That being said, I've been able to build a silent installer for Java 6.45, I've been able to build a script to uninstall all versions of java currently installed on the client machines AND I've been successful in building a .reg file that will turn off the update feature. The whole thing just falls apart when I try to combine everything into one big script. Any suggestions?
