Pushing New Java Installs

We had an issue where we had multiple versions of Java on about 850 systems so last night we ran an “uninstall all Java JRE” fixlet that completely removes all Java. However, I cannot find a fixlet to install the latest version on it’s own.

If I do a software deployment of just Java-8u60.exe /s /norestart, it creates “Exit Code -80”. If I use the upgrade Java fixlet with none of the relevance requirements - it ends with “Exit Code 128”. I can’t seem to find any information on what these exit codes mean.

The client side logs aren’t helpful because it actually does complete each task, but Java still isn’t present.

Has anyone deployed new Java installs with any success that may be able to help? I’ve spent about 7 hours on this today and am not making any progress.

Thank you,
Justin

For future reference, you should not uninstall all java unless you don’t want java there. Instead you should update java to the latest version.

IBM does not provide installers, only updaters.

These are a bit old, but should serve as a guide:

IBM does provide a task that is relevant if there are multiple versions of java installed on the same computer and uninstalls the older versions and keeps the newest version.
