New Post: Using Command-Line Option and/or Configuration File for JAVA

I have Java installing with no problems and no custom update. It also uninstalls all old versions with the following configurations.

This is from my JAVA 8.0.111 x64 update package

• Download the EXE files (NOT MSI) from java.com
• create an update, select the exe file
• CommandLine: STATIC=0 AUTO_UPDATE=0 EULA=0 REBOOT=0 SPONSORS=0 REMOVEOUTOFDATEJRES=1 INSTALL_SILENT=1
  

determine if the update is already installed.

• MsiProductInstalled ProductCode = {26a24ae4-039d-4ca4-87b4-2f64180111f0} (you can get the code from the registry after manually installing it)
  

determine if the update is installable.

• WmiQuery
  • Namespace=root\CIMV2
  • WqlQuery=select * from Win32_Product where IdentifyingNumber like "{26A24AE4-039D-4CA4-87B4-2F64180___F0}" and IdentifyingNumber > "{26A24AE4-039D-4CA4-87B4-2F64180111F0}"
  • Select Reverse rule
    AND
• Processor Architecture=x64
  

In the first UUID {26A24AE4-039D-4CA4-87B4-2F64180___F0} it is 2 F 6 4 1 8 0 <underscore> <underscore> <underscore> F 0
this will select only java 8 Update xxx x64 programs that are installed that are higher than update 111. (in case someone update Java before I get the next update package done) The net result is that it will install if it CAN'T find a higher version already installed.
