There is no error-reporting or handling by the Java (EXE) installer done, but msiexec.exe does report an 1619 (PACKAGE_OPEN_FAILED) exitcode. The x86 Java installer does NOT notice the important redirect and still try to call the MSI file and explode with a, File not found, exeption. At this point Windows (圆4) redirect the request to “C:\Windows\ SysWOW64\config\systemprofile\AppData\LocalLow\Sun\Java”. It “crashes” in a SYSTEM user environment, because the x86 installer of Java would exteact a MSI package on a x86 System into “C:\Windows\ System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\LocalLow\Sun\Java” and call a MSI file and will install Java.īut on a 圆4 System the Java installer want to extract the MSI package into the same directory. Calling it by hand will work and my package is designed to manage both cases. The package includes the MSI installer for the JRE and JDK x86, because if you want to install Java JRE/JDK x86 on a 圆4 System the EXE installer will “crash” if it was called in a SYSTEM user context.
