Java uninstall for version 8

Need to uninstall all version of Java Update 8 below version 8.0.920.14. Is there an easy way to create a fixlet to do so?

This will create a text file with all of the keys for any Java version other than Java 8 Update 92 and then it creates a powershell script to run msiexec on each key in the text file.

IF{exists keys whose (value "DisplayName" of it as string as lowercase contains "java" AND (value "Publisher" of it as string as lowercase contains "oracle" OR value "Publisher" of it as string as lowercase contains "sun") AND value "DisplayName" of it as string as lowercase does not contain "java auto updater" AND value "DisplayName" of it as string as lowercase does not contain "java 8 update 92") of keys "hklm\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\uninstall" of (native registry;registry)}

delete __appendfile

appendfile {concatenation "%0d%0a" of (name of it) of keys whose (value "DisplayName" of it as string as lowercase contains "java" AND (value "Publisher" of it as string as lowercase contains "oracle" OR value "Publisher" of it as string as lowercase contains "sun") AND value "DisplayName" of it as string as lowercase does not contain "java auto updater" AND value "DisplayName" of it as string as lowercase does not contain "java 8 update 92") of keys "hklm\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\uninstall" of (native registry;registry)}

delete c:\windows\temp\javaUninstall.txt
copy __appendfile c:\windows\temp\javaUninstall.txt

endif

delete __createfile

createfile until EOF
if(Test-Path "c:\windows\temp\javaUninstall.txt"){
    foreach ($key in get-content "c:\windows\temp\javaUninstall.txt"){
        (start-process -FilePath "msiexec.exe" -ArgumentList "/x $key /qn REBOOT=ReallySuppress" -wait -passthru)
    }
}
exit

EOF

delete c:\windows\temp\javaUninstall.ps1
copy __createfile c:\windows\temp\javaUninstall.ps1

runhidden cmd /K powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass c:\windows\temp\javaUninstall.ps1

What I usually do is create a baseline for the new Java versions each time a version is released. The baseline includes both the “Java 8.x availalbe - x32” and “Java 8.x available - x64”, and then at the end of the baseline I include the “Multiple Java 32-bit” and “Multiple Java 64-bit” Fixlets from the “Updates for Windows Applications” site. Those last two will uninstall all but the highest-versioned Java runtimes. Let me know if you can’t find them and I’ll get the Fixlet IDs and full names.

We do it in the action script like this.
waithidden MsiExec.exe /X {{26A24AE4-039D-4CA4-87B4-2F83218040F0} /qn
waithidden MsiExec.exe /X {{26A24AE4-039D-4CA4-87B4-2F83218045F0} /qn
