I've tried to package Java 7 U67 using the .exe installer since the msi deployment is technically unsupported (http://www.java.com/en/download/help/msi_install.xml). The majority of our clients are Win7 SP1 x64. My installation method seems to work correctly as far as configuration manager is concerned. However, the browser plugin doesn't seem to run register correctly because thehttps://www.java.com/en/download/installed.jsp doesn't load correctly after install. A reboot does not fix the issue either.
I'm running jre-7u67-windows-i586.com /s WEB_JAVA=1 from a vbs as script installer so I can taskkill IE and Java and validating application installation with MSI product code detection. If I run the same command as the user in the console session it works correctly. Has anyone run into this or come up with a workaround?
