[wpkg-users] Java 8 on Win64 - the saga continues...

[David Pailler]

Hi,
The only way to do it it's again with the extract msi.
I have tested exactly the same problem with the executable.
exit code 0 and nothing.
I think user builtin\system can't create the msi and follow the install.
Indeed , installation by xml with wpkg lanched by real user works fine

Regards
