Sun JRE 5.0

[remove.com]

Hi all,

Forgive me if I'm posting to the wrong newsgroup, but google groups has
not led me to a more appropriate newsgroup and this seems like an
appropriate place to post.

I'm trying to do an silent (no user interaction) install of JRE 1.5.0.
This succeeds using the modifiers /S /V/passive to the setup program. My
understanding of theese paramenter:

/S = suppress initialization,
/V = pass following arguments to msiexec,
/passive = suppress user dialogs.

Trouble is when java is installed in
this manner support for the <APPLET> tag isn't enabled in IE (it is when
you do a standard install - strange, dare I say unexpected, behaviour
. You can enable this following instructions found at

http://www.java.com/en/download/help/5000020200.xml

As far as I could figure out this adds the following registry entries

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Plug-in\1.5.0_02]
"JavaHome"="H:\\Program Files\\Java\\jre1.5.0_02"
"HideSystemTrayIcon"=dword:00000000
// The following line if applet support enabled
"UseJava2IExplorer"=dword:00000001
// else this
"UseJava2IExplorer"=dword:00000000

// All of the following only if applet support enabled
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed
Components\{08B0E5C0-4FCB-11CF-AAA5-00401C608500}]
@="Java (Sun)"
"ComponentID"="JAVAVM"
"IsInstalled"=dword:00000001
"KeyFileName"="H:\\Program Files\\Java\\jre1.5.0_02\\bin\\regutils.dll"
"Version"="5,0,5000,0"
"Locale"="EN"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\AdvancedOptions\JAVA_SUN]
"Text"="Java (Sun)"
"Type"="group"
"Bitmap"="H:\\Program Files\\Java\\jre1.5.0_02\\bin\\regutils.dll,1000"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\AdvancedOptions\JAVA_SUN\SELECT]
"RegPath"="Software\\JavaSoft\\Java Plug-in\\1.5.0_02"
"Text"="Use JRE 1.5.0_02 for <applet> (requires restart)"
"Type"="checkbox"
"ValueName"="UseJava2IExplorer"
"HKeyRoot"=dword:80000002
"CheckedValue"=dword:00000001
"DefaultValue"=dword:00000001
"UncheckedValue"=dword:00000000

Anyway it should be possible to add theese registry entries with a small
script, but it is really a hack, so I wanted to get some input on
another way to do it. Has anyone done the same, or have any ideas?

Thanks in advance

My suggestion - look on the SUN site for 'How to do a "silent" java
installation'?
