Updating Java

[evit]

Hi,

I’m trying to update Java and I’ve got the latest offline installer and I’m using the /s for a silent install. No matter what I do I’m getting the following error:

Exit code 3

I don’t see the exit codes documented.

Any ideas?

BatchPatch exit codes will generally have descriptions next to them in the BP All messages log when they are generated. Non-BatchPatch exit codes, such as codes that come from Windows or codes that come from the installer package itself, are numbers only because they are documented by Windows and/or by the third-party who created the installer package.

That said, I was just able to perform a Java jre-8u73-windows-i586.exe deployment without any issues. I downloaded the offline installer from https://java.com/en/download/manual.jsp and then created a standard deployment in BatchPatch, adding just the /s for a silent install. The deployment was successful.

I think the error code 3 you are seeing must be coming from Windows since the Java offline installer documentation does not list a 3 in its exit code list. Windows error 3 (from https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms681382%28v=vs.85%29.aspx) is:

ERROR_PATH_NOT_FOUND

3 (0x3)

The system cannot find the path specified.

Frankly, I’m not quite sure what could cause this error to be produced in a BP deployment. I don’t think I’ve ever seen it before, and I don’t believe anyone has ever reported it before. In your deployment did you by chance check the box that says “Retrieve console output” ? If yes, please try unchecking it and re-running the deployment without it.

Hi,

I tried it once again (redownloading and resetting up the deployment) and I’m still getting the same error.

Retrieve console output is not checked.

Any other ideas?

I’ve emailed you directly to troubleshoot further.
