/dontdisableupdates – this can be used to disable our default feature that disables the automatic update check within Java. This argument can be used to skip the uninstall feature and leave previous Java 8 versions installed. Starting with version 3 of the Java Wrapper Script, the script will automatically detect and uninstall any previous versions of Java 8. /skipuninstall – starting with Java 8 Update 20 and newer, Java 8 will no longer remove previous Java 8. When using this command line argument, there is no need to use the /checkforconflicts command line argument.
This could cause loss of data if users are actively working with any of these processes. This should only be used when proper communication has been sent to end users.
/kill – this command line argument will kill any conflicting processes (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, and Java processes) prior to installing Java. The update installation should retry based on the “Software Update deployment re-evaluation” schedule. If the time limit is reached and browsers aren’t closed, the script will exit with exit code 1618 / 0x87D00664 (Updates handler job was cancelled) in Configuration Manager and the Java update will not be installed. For example, you could use /checkforconflicts 120 to specify a conflicting process check for up to 120 minutes. In order for the process check to work, both the /checkforconflicts and an integer number must be defined in the command line argument. The script will recheck every minute for up to the max runtime you specify or until conflicting processes are closed. You need specify the max runtime in minutes by adding an integer number in the command line argument after the /checkforconflicts. /checkforconflicts – this command line argument will tell the wrapper script to check if (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, or Java processes) are running. The Java wrapper script will now delete the Java start menu folder from all users start menu.Ĭommand Line Argument Supported In Version 5:. Java Wrapper Script Version 5 Change Log: Please review Version 1, Version 2, Version 3 or Version 4 release notes if needed. Starting with updates Java 8 Update 40 and any future releases, we will be using version 5 of the Java wrapper script. EXE installer (SFX installer) that will use a wrapper script (VBScript) that can optionally perform various checks prior to calling the Java installer. In order to work workaround to this problem, we created a self-extracting. If browsers are open during a Java update, it can cause issues during a Java update in some scenarios. We have received feedback related to only allowing the upgrade of Java runtime environment when Internet Explorer, Chrome, Opera, and Firefox are not open.
