They also offer the msi package on their website. First you need to download their “offline installation” executable here. Then run the executable but don’t go through any additional prompts. Navigate to LocalAppData folder (the user’s Application Data folder). The location of the LocalAppData folder differs for each Windows platform.

* Windows Vista: C:\Users\\AppData\LocalLow\Sun\Java\jre1.6.0_12
* Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\\Local Settings\Application Data
* Windows 2000 C:\Documents and Settings\\Application Data

Copy the contents out of that folder to where you are keeping your msi distribution packages. The folder should look like the picture below without the install.bat which is my batch file.

Here is the command I used for a quiet install for multiple users:

msiexec /i "jre1.6.0_12.msi" SETMULTIUSER=1 /qb"

Works fine for multiple users under windows 2000, XP, and Vista. More MSI package instructions coming tomorrow along with some tutorials on ImageX/Sysprep for Vista.

We purchased AdminStudio 9.0 along with InstallShield to repackage windows legacy installations into scripted msi packages. I figure it would be wise to document my progress as I go and also thought people out there could benefit from it. Yay for open source knowledge! Please bare with me as I am learning as I go here. Feel free to comment or correct me. I will gladly take criticism to find out the correct procedure or answer. I will be posting each app package tutorial separately. Please check back for updates.

Another great resource for Deploying MSI packages is www.appdeploy.com.
