Java Runtime Environment 6 update 24 Missing Java

(imported topic written by kmdawson052291)

Having an issue with this patch. It has successfully patched over 1300 of my machines, but on another 200 or so it reports success but in reality it hangs. Seems to uninstall 23, then hang, so in effect the user has no more Java. I know it’s a known issue with Java patches (error 25099 unzipping core files failed), but this has really become a big issue for us to have to manually install Java.

Since ver 23 is gone, the fixlet reports the machine as being not relevant. So I copied the fixlet, removed the relevance and the patch then fails. Tried creating a software deployment package to just push the MSI and it just hangs at “Running.”

My Help Desk is really hating on me right now. Can anyone offer a solution?

We’re still looking into it. However, let’s end this thread and move the conversation here:
