[wpkg-users] Java hanging on install

[Andrew Struiksma]

I found the attached script (uninstall_java.cmd) which seems to do a good job of uninstalling all previous versions of Java in a more efficient way.

I modified it a bit so I could more easily reuse if for other apps such as Adobe Reader (uninstall_reader.cmd).

WPKG client is run when the computer is shutdown, so iexplore and firefox are (should?) be down, I use:

REM Stop Quick Starter service if any
net STOP JavaQuickStarterService 2> NUL > NUL

echo Disable "Java Quick Starter"
"%ProgramFiles%\Java\jre6\bin\jqs.exe" -unregister

Before running msiexec calls...

I'll test the output redirections to see if there is an improvement, and then add the taskkill.

I'll finally understand what's happenning ;-)

Thanks.
