You’d probably need to run these commands manually on a test system. Likely one of them is displaying a pop-up message that may need some attention.

One possible easy thing I see is that it looks like you are not disabling wow32 redirection, so perhaps it’s a problem where the 32-bit msiexec cannot deal with the 64-bit MSI package?

Thank you sir for replying. Could you please correct me on where and what has to be edited in the fixlet mentioned, please…

This is probably an issue - you need to locate the command-line options to make the Java install proceed silently.

i removed the line you mentioned and executed , now its keep on running status with exit code 1605.

I don’t know what to say, except at this point it’s not even a BigFix problem (yet). I don’t understand why you’ve made the Fixlet this complicated, but you should test that your command lines work, outside of BigFix, before you try to make a Fixlet for it.

(By the way, we have a “Multiple JRE Installed” Fixlet in “Updates for Windows Applications” that should already take care of removing all but the highest-installed version)

Ok…I got you, but my main concern is to uninstall all old versions of java and install java 8u351 in the same script. without reboot.

This is a pretty good universal Java uninstaller:

// Terminate any running Java
wait taskkill /f /im javaw.exe /t
wait taskkill /f /im java.exe /t



parameter "GUIDs" = "{concatenation " " of unique values of names of keys whose ((exists values "DisplayName" whose(it as string as lowercase starts with "java" as lowercase) of it) AND (exists values whose(it as string as lowercase starts with "msiexec") of it)) of keys "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall" of ( x64 registries; x32 registries )}"

wait cmd.exe /c "for %a in ({parameter "GUIDs"}) do msiexec /x %a /qn"
