Here is a beta version, it have room for improvements, but should works fine.
Please test & report.

JAVA-Multi_Maker_3.2b1.zip

 

Hi mooms,

Installer has been created, but:

1) No question about "administrative install"

2) Installer-size 35% bigger than with admin-installer

3) Very bad: it does not uninstall previous versions.

Regards, Thiersee

Edit: may be that point 3) has to do with the oracle-change in the installer?

Hi Thiersee,

 

1) and 2) are expected (it's a quick release, admin install will eventually come back when I have time to work on the script).

3) is unexpected: on my test  previous version(s)  was uninstalled.

Hi mooms,

I tried it many times in 2 VMs with the old and the new installer:

JRE 8u66 installed, then updated to 71/72 ---> 8u66 (8u71) has been uninstalled; updated the existing 8u72 to 8u73/74, 8u72 has not been uninstalled.

8u73 installed and updated to 8u74, 8u73 has not been uninstalled.

Edit:

I think I found what caused the error: in every line

ECHO SetEnvironment="DelOldVer=%%%%P:hidcon:cmd /c For /F \"tokens=2 delims={}\" %%a In ('Reg Query %%swUninst_%%%%P%% ^| FINDSTR \"%GUID%\"') Do exeExec /x{%%a}">> "32.cfg"

you wrote exeExec, but this command does not exist: I changed it in MSIexec and it works.

Installed 8u72, updated to 8u74: every time the previous (or already installed) version has been uninstalled.

An already installed 8u74 has been uninstalled too.

Updated the script to works with 8u73 & 8u74.

Everything is working again: uninstall of previous versions and admin install are back.

3.2b1 was a quick & dirty fix and is buggy (thanks Thiersee), please update to 3.2

Unfortunately it doesn't work since Oracle switched java.com to https

Until @mooms change the util you can download the last Java from here

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jre8-downloads-2133155.html;

put the downloaded files in the folder Java Multi Maker 3.2 and start the .cmd-file: you get your installer.

Regards, Thiersee

[mooms]

Version 3.3 is out.

Changelog:

- Changed the Java url (https)
- Updated UPX, wget, and curl.
- Minor changes

[Thiersee]

Hi mooms,

there is an issue with the new version, BTW the same as in february: the present (older) Java-version will not be uninstalled (but it doesn't seems tobe the same reason as in February ).

No matter if the older version has been installed with the original installer or with the repack (dual installer).

If I use the original installer I get a box to uninstall the old Java.

Regards, Thiersee

[mooms]

Thanks for the feedback Thiersee, the uninstall GUID has changed slightly, this is fixed now.

Version 3.4 is out.

what's new:

Quote

- Updated uninstall GUID string. (8u101/8u102 was not uninstalled when installing 8u111/8u112)

 

[Thiersee]

Hi mooms,

the JavaMaker (3.4) does not work again: it does not download the install files; if I put the manually downloaded files in the folder, the AIO is being generated.

Regards, Thiersee

Thiersee..Im not even able to download Java from the official site..seems that there is some problem in java "field" I guess,cos I don't have any explanation?Did some one else got the same problem?

[Thiersee]

@stashmajcherc

May be, Oracle did change something agai...

Have a look at my post from 15 october, how to get the AIO.

[mooms]

Sorry, but the code used to find the download URL was made by Strych9, and I don't know how to use curl. If someone is able to update it, it will be cool.

I have sent a PM to Strych9, let see if he responds.

In the meantime, you can download the file(s) with this URL (more convenient by the one given by Thiersee)

https://java.com/en/download/manual.jsp

then put the offline installer(s) in the same folder than the script, it will make installers as usual.

[mooms]

Version 3.5 is out, I managed to fix the curl command, so downloads are working again, enjoy !

Changes:

Quote

• Fix downloads.
• Using aria2c instead of wget.
• Updated French strings in sfx

[Thiersee]

Very good, mooms!

Thanks, Thiersee

Is there any protection to the cmd? In previous releases I could edit it and worked fine. Now I edit only one digit from 0 to 1 and it's broken.

[mooms]

No protection, but it's now encoded in UTF-8 to allow special characters in the sfx.

I suppose you use notepad, or other crappy text editor isn't it ?

Use a good text editor like Notepad2-mod, I share a sfx here.

[Thiersee]

I don't think so: I edited just now the cmd and it has been working w/o issues.

What did you edit exactly?

BTW, I'm using Notepad++ or EditPadLite.

Thiersee

[mooms]

BTW Thiersee, if you want to add special characters in German and/or Italian sfx strings, it's now possible, thanks to the UTF-8 encoding.

Java 9 is out. Maker 3.5 is compatible?

[Thiersee]

Not at the moment.

[mooms]

Here is a beta version for Java 9 JAVA-Multi_Maker_3.6b1.zip

You have to download the Java 9 x64 setup from here and copy it in the "JRE_setups" folder then launch "_JAVA_Multi_Maker.cmd".

Tested on Windows 10 x64, both normal and admin install works. It will uninstall any previous  x64 Java 7 or 8 version before installing Java 9, but keep x86 versions.

I don't know if Java 9 will have a x86 version, for this beta it's only x64.

I haven't tested if the browser plugins are installed.

Please test and report how it works.

 

Java 8 will be supported and updated until September 2018, so there is no hurry to update.

Hi mooms,

Oracle has not updated the Server yet, under the link is only the x64-version

You can download the x86 from here, but be careful, only manual installation (Manuelle Installation)

[mooms]

Thanks Thiersee.

I will update the maker later with x86 installation.
