Help Silently Installing Java Version 6 Update 29
I have a script I cannot get to work and I've tried all sorts of suggestions from websites and don't know what I'm doing wrong.
I need to silently install Java Version 6 update 29, but when I try /s or /v" or /qn nothing seems to work. The program never installs. I would preferably like this script to work on Windows 7 as well as XP.
THANKS!

That worked! I don't know what you changed to make it work, I'm going to compare it to my script, but it installed successfully.
I did get it throwing a bunch of access denied errors at the end, maybe when it tried deleting the tmp files? Any ideas why?
C:\DOCUME~1\huckst\LOCALS~
Access is denied.

...etc...
Press any key to continue . . .
Regardless, thanks for the help! Today started off bad as my pet tarantula escaped her cage this morning and is loose in my house.

I see you removed >nul 2>&1 which is no big deal at all. Thanks again for the help!
Those files might be locked still. They're just really warnings that can be ignored. That's why >nul was used.
Moral of the story: don't double-click a batch file to run it unless you're 100% certain it's going to work ;)

or run it on a test system you don't care about losing :)
I did look over the code to make sure you didn't add in a little sneaky surprise :)
I just removed the deletion of temp files, I don't know that that's necessary.
Weird that removing the nul parameters made it work, but thanks for your help!

I suspect that it was something other than the nul thing really.
