Java snapin

[Alakuni]

Anyone got any good tie or creating a java rte update snapin?

I’ve managed to create one that installs JRE6u31, but java update still keeps trying to install the same version…

Other users seem to be having similar issues as well. Check itninja.com - [url]http://www.itninja.com/question/java-tm-update-fails-to-apply-changes-to-your-system-error-1722[/url]

Thanks SSX4Life, doesnt seem to be the same problem (they’re on XP, I’m on 7). I’ve been able to narrow it down a bit more though - my snapin runs when i place it manually on the client desktop and “run as” admin, but it doesn’t work when deployed via FOG… Still playing around trying to get it to work - will post if I find the answer

Did you ever find an answer for this. I am finding that the java install exe file wants to install the MSI and a cab file into the user/username/appdata/locallow/sun/java folder. I assume there is no user when FOG goes to run the install; therefore, the snapin fails since there is no folder to install to. If you deploy the MSI, it wants to use the cab file found in FOG/tmp. Which is not there, so again it fails.

Would running the fog client service as Administrator cure this I wonder?

We solved this by creating 2 snapins. THe first copies the cab file to programs (x86)/fog/tmp. The second runs the java msi.
