how to automate Java Installer

[Muhammad_Awais_Sharif]

Hi

I have Java 8 installer 

I want to automate it's installation process. 

I have found silent installation method but I want to install it using controls clicking like as normal user do 

But I don't find any control using  AutoIt v3 Window Info 

How I can find it's control buttons ?

Thank you

I am going try this 

http://wiki.netbeans.org/FaqSilentInstallationNB61

[junkew]

Search for jabsimplespy or java accessibility bridge

[Muhammad_Awais_Sharif]

@junkew  i have followed instructions i have JDk Installed 
 

also run 

jabswitch.exe" /enable

i am not getting other steps 
and when i executed simply spy and pressed ctrl + w it stop working 
i think i have to do something else before it working ?

 

[junkew]

Which windows version and which jdk.

Search for javaferret or java screenreader. 

[Muhammad_Awais_Sharif]

windows 10 and jdk 1.8
okay i will search for java screenreader ty  

[pcjunki]

you can run the java installer from the windows command line,

jre-8u101-windows-i586.exe /s

 

[Muhammad_Awais_Sharif]

Thank you dear
although i have found this solution 
like this 
first i have to record it's state 

jdk-8u101-nb-8_1-windows-x64.exe --record state.xml

then i can use like this 

jdk-8u101-nb-8_1-windows-x64.exe --silent --state state.xml

Or

But as you know the packege that i have downloaded has JDK/JRE netbeans so it can take too much time for installation.
And a user who don't know much about these things he would be thinking what is going on  
so that is way i was thinking to make installer like a normal user install like autoit help contain a example winzip installation  
but thank you for reply  

[ViciousXUSMC]

I extract the .MSI from the .EXE and then run it with standard MSIEXEC silent flags.  

You can use a transform file to make changes to your install, or parameters, or what I do is just modify the MSI with InstaEdit

[junkew]

Did you try JABSimple.Spy on my W10 this works see below on javacpl what is the output of first few lines?

may be i am not using it in right way 
but when i run this was the output 

--> Press Ctrl+Alt+Break to Restart or Ctrl+Break to Stop

And on press ctrl + w while mouse was on jdk-8u101-nb-8_1-windows-x64.exe Installer, It returns nothing 
not any thing in Scite output window or not even in Simple UIA Spy Editbox  (Or may be empty response)

[junkew]

Start javacpl.exe and spy that first

[legend]

using controlclick is very not the correct way to install software, it's not very reliable.

Instead use java's silent switch / parameter, to automatic silently install it:

FileGetShortName(@UserProfileDir & "\java.exe /s")

 

I wrote a little function to obtain the link to the latest java version:'

(i'm using psexec to run the java installation as the system user. you may ask why. It's because we are using software restrictions, so to bypass them, I run it as the system account.

;Download and install latest java version


install_latest_java_version()

func install_latest_java_version()
SplashTextOn("Opdater Java", "Vent venligst" & @CRLF & @CRLF & "Installere Java: " & @CRLF & @CRLF & latest_java_version(), -1, -1, -1, -1, "", "", 24)
if FileExists(@UserProfileDir & "\java.exe") then FileDelete(@UserProfileDir & "\java.exe") ;makes sure we gets the

$readtext = InetRead("https://java.com/inc/BrowserRedirect1.jsp?locale=en",1)
$source = BinaryToString($readtext)
$text =  _StringBetween($source,'<a title="Download Java software for Windows Offline" href="', '">')
$latest_version = $text[0]

InetGet($latest_version, @UserProfileDir & "\java.exe")
;RunWait(@UserProfileDir & "\java.exe /s")

_RunDos(FileGetShortName(@UserProfileDir & "\PsExec.exe") & " -i -s /accepteula " & FileGetShortName(@UserProfileDir & "\java.exe /s"))

SplashOff()
EndFunc

;---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

;Get the name of latest java version

func latest_java_version()
if FileExists(@UserProfileDir & "\java.exe") then FileDelete(@UserProfileDir & "\java.exe") ;makes sure we gets the

$readtext = InetRead("https://java.com/inc/BrowserRedirect1.jsp?locale=en",1)
$source = BinaryToString($readtext)
$text =  _StringBetween($source,'<h4 class="sub">Recommended ', '</h4>')
$latest_version = $text[0]
Return($latest_version)
EndFunc
