Java SE Runtime Environment 8u45 - Installation failed when running under SYSTEM account

Jean-François HensensSep 21 2016 — edited Oct 14 2016

Hello,

Despite our efforts, we have not been able to install the JRE 8u45 (x86 Offline) through SCCM (both application and package model), under the SYSTEM account.

Yet the installation when running under an interactive user with administrative privileges succeed. To perform the installation, we execute the following batch file (install.cmd) :

if not exist %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Oracle\Java md %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Oracle\Java

type NUL > %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Oracle\Java\java.settings.cfg

copy "%~dp0jre8u45.cfg" %windir%\temp\ /Y

START /B /WAIT %ComSpec% /c ""%~dp0jre-8u45-windows-i586.exe" INSTALLCFG=%windir%\temp\jre8u45.cfg /s /L C:\Log\jre-8u45.log"

The configuration file jre8u45.cfg sets the following options:

INSTALL_SILENT=1

AUTO_UPDATE=0

REBOOT=0

EULA=0

NOSTARTMENU=1

SPONSORS=0

WEB_ANALYTICS=0

WEB_JAVA=1

WEB_JAVA_SECURITY_LEVEL=H

Virtual Machine configuration:

  • Windows 7 Enterprise Service Pack 1 (x64)
  • JRE 1.6.0_35 (x86) installed
  • No browser launched
  • No Java process running
  • Connected to internet through enterprise proxy server

Running under an interactive user with administrative privileges

When install.cmd is run from an elevated command prompt, the installation succeed.

C:\Log\jre-8u45.log

The following log files are also created:

  • C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\Temp\jusched.log
  • C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\Temp\JavaDeployReg.log

Running under the SYSTEM account

The application is installed through SCCM under the NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM account.

During the tests, we simulated this context by running the install.cmd within the resulting command prompt:  PsExec.exe -s %ComSpec%

The installation process froze after a while. The following lines are ending the log files:

The C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\JavaDeployReg.log file cannot be read, because the file is open in another program.

I run the following command to get the running Java processes:

The installation seems to be stuck at that point.

When the process jp2launcher.exe is terminated (twice), the installation then continues.

C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\JavaDeployReg.log ends with:

RegisterDeployEx return: TRUE

C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\jusched.log is appended:

                INFO: setting ENABLE_WEB_JAVA

                TRACE: RegisterDeploy returned: 0

(…)

Sadly, the JRE is not properly installed (confirmed by https://www.java.com/verify/)

We have also tried to install the JRE wby using the extracted windows installer package (jre1.8.0_45.msi) instead of using the executable, without success.

Even if a transform file was applied (see https://maddog2050.wordpress.com/2014/10/27/gpo-deploying-java-8-update-25/). We have set the msidbCustomActionTypeNoImpersonate bit to the Type of the installexe CustomAction (Type = 3090), without success.

Same issue when the JRE 1.6.0_35 is uninstalled prior to the JRE 8u45 installation.

Does anyone have an idea?

Thanks in advance.
