GPO - Unable To Deploy Java 10 64bit - Fails to install (1603 Error)
-
@jaredbusch Could you point me to some documentation? I may have missed that part.

Here is link from ms.
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/834484/you-receive-an-error-1603-a-fatal-error-occurred-during-installation-e
It details cause and possible resolutions. -

@momurda My understanding is that 1603 errors are normally "generic" non-specific errors. I am pretty sure I covered all bullet pointed causes during my testing. There may be some Java 10 remnants in there somewhere, but the Java uninstall tool didn't find anything and I have tried applying the GPO to a machine that supposedly never had Java installed before - it still failed in the same way
-
Can you run the java 10 msi file directly with success?
Perhaps prereq software needed. -

Perhaps prereq software needed.Yep. If I manually run the MSI, it installs fine.

Try this
msiexec /i "jre10filename.msi" /q ENTERPRISE=YESJust a long shot, obviously change it to the msi file name for java10.

No, because I probably remember incorrectly.

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jre10-downloads-4417026.htmlIt is also interesting that Oracle has not updated java.com to reference 10.0.1.
It is only available from oracle.com.

What does the ENTERPRISE switch do? Were you recommending I test to see if it fails installation when I run the command manually or did you want me to modify the MSI to add that value? Or create a transform (never done that before)?

I thought v 8 was the last desktop version... but maybe it's only last version to have browser interaction?

It supposed to do things the enterprise way, silently, no reboots. https://www.java.com/en/download/help/msi_install.xml
They say here you only get this with the paid version of JRE but I think that isn't true. -

Just add the switch to your install command.
It is obvious what it means from your earlier error of
ERROR: LocalSystem is only supported for Enterprise MSI.You are only allowed to install Java locally with the enterprise MSI.
That switch seems to tell it that it is the Enterprise version.

But that does not mean it is the actual enterprise MSI. But it may work.
-
Why are you trying to install Java 10 when even java.com still installs Java 8?

They say here you only get this with the paid version of JRE but I think that isn't true.For the record, the chocolatey package is also still Java 8 and uses these arguments. They do not use
ENTERPRISE$installArgs = "/s REBOOT=0 SPONSORS=0 AUTO_UPDATE=0 $32dir" $installArgs64 = "/s REBOOT=0 SPONSORS=0 AUTO_UPDATE=0 $64dir" -

Yes, that is what I remember. Now to find a source for that. I thought it was a thread here.

That is plugins and has nothing to do with Java on a desktop. But it is likely what I was half assed remembering.
