Dear George,
Thanks for posting here.
After evaluating your post, my understanding is that you want suggestions
for the following 3 issues:
1. How to deploy a software (JRE) via Group Policy, which supports silent
installation?
2. Can we use a script to modify registry?
3. How to remove the "installed successfully" dialogue?
If there is any misunderstanding, please advise!
Analysis & Suggestion:
===========
1. We can use Group Policy to deploy software. But the most important thing
is that we have .MSI JRE installation package. If the manufacturer can
provide a JRE MSI package, we can deploy JRE by using Group Policy -
Computer Configuration\Software Settings\Software Installation( or Group
Policy - User Configuration\Software Settings\Software Installation).
In this scenario, you have already tested that JRE supports silent
installation. If this is the case, it's better to deploy it by using Group
Policy->Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Scripts (Startup/Shutdown).
About how to create script to finish installation, please refer to this:
How to create scripts to install a software:

ue
2. We can also use a script to modify registry. For more about how to
modify registry via script, please refer to the following document:
How to use the Windows Script Host to read, write, and delete registry keys
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/244675/en-us
3. As for this issue, the pop-up dialog should be prompted by the
application itself, and we cannot control such 3rd party application
behavior on the operating system side. So I would suggest that you look up
the help documents of the target software, or contact the software-provider
to get more information. I hope they can provide a specific package which
supports completely silent installation.
Also, as the dialog is harmless, I think can also simply ignore it, if the
software manufacturer cannot provide such a version.
I hope this helps. If there is anything unclear, please feel free to let me
know.
Have a nice day!
Regards
Sincerely

--->I've figured out how to siliently install JRE by running the executable
with

this

with the

and

the

there

install

thought
