![]() Granted the Java EXE has silent install options, it DOES NOT uninstall the previous versions, and each one takes up to 100MB of disk space. It is so annoying, if i want to use Group Policy to manage these updates. from there, one is supposed to use ORCA to build a custom MSI using the options desired. There is absolutely no way that I will go to every computer to install things like Adobe Reader, which is updated every quarter, and Adobe refuses to simply post an MSI for each update of Reader, and instead ships a patch for each release, so the SysAdmin has to build their own MSI, from Major release, to patch 1, to patch 2, to patch3, etc… Furthermore, Java, is only available as an EXE, which extracts an MSI to the current user’s APPDATA folder. Like usual, these are security vulnerabilities if they are not kept up-to-date.Īlso, it should be noted that I despise when software does not ship with a standard MSI. ![]() Just to preface, My user’s do not have the ability to install any software on their PC’s, therefore they cannot update each individual software package, such as JAVA Runtime, Adobe Flashplayer, Adobe Reader, etc… these are about standard to have installed on each computer that accesses the internet, or receive emails.
