Allow using the Java MSI in addition to the EXE for Software Updates

The Java MSI is encoded as an Enterprise installed application. It also allows for additional parameters to be passed through, whereas the exe cannot process those and kicks back an error.

MSI parameters:

  • AUTOUPDATECHECK

  • JAVAUPDATE

  • RebootYesNo

The Enterprise tag is visible in the MSI verbose install log (ENTERPRISE = YES) and the registry:

  • HKLM:\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment\1.8.0_281

  • HKLM:\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment\1.8.0_281\MSI

    • Enterprise = Yes

  • Attach files

    Yes would definately like to have this as well, can be the same as the existing JRE installs where you have to provide the installer
