Are you using the /qn flag with msiexec? This should suppress the popup. The popup might be the reason it's taking a while on 8.1, since it may be prompting for input, but not receiving any, so timing out and killing the uninstall after 10 minutes (the default wait time in WPP custom updater, if you didn't change it).Thank you for your answer. Please let me clearify a couple of things for you. First of all:
-
I have followed the documentation on the website (Installing Java 7u21 without Java Auto Updater). At step 5, I need to create a Executable Element in a customized update. This will be used to uninstall Java Auto Updater after the installation of Java 8u25.
-
The command that I have used is just like the command in the document which is: /qn /norestart with msiexec.exe
-
In Windows 7, after the installation of Java I receive a pop-up which says: Do you want to uninstall this package "Yes" or "No". This ONLY happens in Windows 7.
-
In Windows 8, it takes very long before Java 8u25 is installed. I don't receive any pop-up about uninstalling Java Auto Updater but it also not removed.
Ensure you have not tick the option "Can request user inputs".
Why are you talking of installing Java 8u25, your package is to uninstall Java Auto Updater, which is another product ?
In this case, for Windows 8, he needs to ensure that Microsoft .Net 3.5 is installed. Because, Custom update use .Net to run.
- "Can request user inputs" option is off.
- I am reffering to the document Installing Java 7u21 without Java Auto Updater, but I am using it for Java 8u25 version.
-
Microsoft .NET 3.5 is installed.
