Java 8 Update 20

698697b1-7fe3-495e-8f74-3bb412eb296dAug 22 2014 — edited Aug 25 2014

Hi everyone,

I need some help to figure out how to deploy this new and fresh update of Java, the Java 8 Update 20.

I red somewhere there are some new features and what I can say is that I am no more able to deploy this software as before.

We are a school with thousands of Microsoft computers and I use to deploy Java Runtime over the GPO.

What I did in the past is:

1) download Windows x86 Offline source from here:

Java SE Runtime Environment 8 - Downloads

2) run the installer in a test computer

3) get the msi & data files in the extracted folder here:

C:\Users\username\AppData\LocalLow\Sun\Java

4) deploy using a script over group policy objects

Today, with the new Java 8 Update 20, it doesn't work anymore, the sources files under C:\Users\username\AppData\LocalLow\Sun\Java, are completely different.

I red here that we can get a msi file directly without having to extract it as I did:

JRE Installation for Microsoft Windows

It says that we can get these files:

  • MSI Enterprise Installer (for both 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems): jre-8version-windows-i586.msi and jre-8version-windows-x64.msi

I never heard about them before and would like to get them for sure but I can't find them.

Please, I need help, whether to find these files or to deploy the new Java 8 Update 20.

Thanks,
