Java 8 Update 77 Upgrade

This post is for updating Java 8 (32-Bit) to the Update 77.  You will download the latest version of Java 8 copy to your server then download my custom install files.  These custom install files I created will make you installation simple.  They are easy enough to edit for future version of Java releases which happen every few weeks. HA HA

Download the latest version of Java. Make sure you select the OFFLINE version.

Run the install once downloaded and DO NOT complete the install but stop at the license agreement screen.

With the license screen still opened go to directory %UserName%\AppData\LocalLow\Oracle\Java\ . Open your correct version of Java directory that was just created by the installer.  Copy all the files in the directory to a shared directory on your server.  Once the files are copied you can click "Cancel" back on the Java license screen.

Once you have the files copied to your server share you will need a few more files.  Download the "Install.cmd" and MSI transform file below that I created.

Click Here to download the "Install.cmd" script.  This script will uninstall any older version of Java 8.  Check if you already have Java 8 Update 77 installed.  If you DO.  The script stops the install and ends with an error level of "0" for success.  If you DO NOT.  The script continues on and installs Java 8 Update 77.  This script also creates a log of its actions under the %windir%/Temp directory for you to review if needed. Review the first few lines of the script to find the log name.

Click Here to download the MSI transform file that is called in the "Install.cmd" script.  The setting this transform file sets are removing the update Java message when a new version of Java comes out.

Now that you have all these files in one place on your server shared they are ready for deployment to your devices.  You could deploy these through group policies, SCCM or whichever deployment tools you company is using.
