JRE 8.40(32 Bits) Installation failed on Win8/Win8.1 64 Bits

Usage and Config SWD

Our customer just approved to deploy the update 40 of JRE 8(32Bits Version).
We don’t have any problem with the task created for any another platform. However when I try to target machines with Win8/Win8.1 running 64Bits the taks fails when run the jre*.exe with a return code different of 0.

I think some process is using the java virtual machines, but it’s hard to know which is as the env varies on every machine.

This is the task that I developed.

wait __Download/jre-8u40-windows-i586.exe /s

As you can see I force to kill browsers and java process, even though it doesn’t work on that specific machines.

I just found this bug but not sure if in this version it is not fixed yet.

IEM returns 0 as return code.

It could be the installer’s issue.

FYI, Oracle has updated installer of JRE 8u40.
The sha1 value now is 037a1df1df2ed13aed1e8a984ec66e0ba60fac8c.

You may try it if it solves the issue.

Hello,

Seems the version of the installer that I was using had an issue, I downloaded the new one and the installation works successfully.
