How to install Sun Java silently using SCCM

The following process has been tested and confirmed as working with Java Runtime Environment version 8 and SCCM R2.

It does the following tasks:

• Installs Sun Java silently
• Installs Internet Explorer extension
• Installs Firefox extension
• Disables automatic updates

1. Download standalone (offline) installer for both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows for Java from www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp
2. 
3. Create a text file called install.cmd and copy in the following information

@echo off
cls
echo --------------------------------------------------------
echo .
echo .      Installing Java Runtime Environment - Please Wait.
echo .         (This window will close once installed)
echo .

"%~dp0jre-8u131-windows-i586.exe" INSTALL_SILENT=1 STATIC=0 AUTO_UPDATE=0 WEB_JAVA=1 WEB_ANALYTICS=0 EULA=0 REBOOT=0

REM If 64-bit Windows JRE 64-bit is also required
REM Installing JRE 64-bit
if exist "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\" "%~dp0jre-8u131-windows-x64.exe" INSTALL_SILENT=1 STATIC=0 AUTO_UPDATE=0 WEB_JAVA=1 WEB_ANALYTICS=0 EULA=0 REBOOT=0

REM Disable automatic updates
reg delete "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run" /v SunJavaUpdateSched /f
reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\JavaSoft\Java Update\Policy" /v EnableJavaUpdate /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

3. Copy the installer files and install.cmd to your software package share
4. You can now create your SCCM package or deploy the software by using install.cmd.
