Why do the installs of JRE 8u20 and 8u25 seem to be hard coded to install as static?
These versions end up in their own folders under Program Folders.
C:\Program Folders\Java\jre1.8.0_20
C:\Program Folders\Java\jre1.8.0_25
The earlier JRE 8's like 8u5 and 8u11 installed to "C:\Program Files\Java\jre8".
According to this information (Installing With a Configuration File) the install should default to not static.
Attempts at setting "STATIC=Disable" in a config file for the exe install or on the msi command line will still result in static installs.
Is Oracle switching direction again and going back to the old way of leaving all versions on the system?
