Java System Level deployment Malformed deployment.config file

I am trying to install Java jre 1.8u31 from the command line. I am using system level install configuration by using the deployment.config file and deployment.properties. Batch script for install java jre

I have tried the following:

deployment.system.config=file\:C\:/WINDOWS/Sun/Java/Deployment/deployment.properties
deployment.system.config.mandatory=true

I have also tried the following 

deployment.system.config=file:///C:/Windows/Sun/Java/Deployment/deployment.properties
deployment.system.config.mandatory=true

I have swapped the entries around in hopes of getting a better error describing what I am doing wrong. I have also made the first line blank in the deployment.config file. I have googled and tried all examples I could find online. In all the cases, I am being presented a dialog box with an error that states the deployment.config file's line 1 is malformed.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Solution

  • I got the install to work correctly. What I did was put the deployment.config file in the C:\Windows\Sun\Java\Deployment directory. The property in the file was setup as so:

    deployment.system.config=file\:C\:\\Sup\\Java\\UPGRADE\\Deployment\\deployment.properties

    The exceptionlist file was in the same directory as the deployment.properties file.
