Have no idea why the jump to Java 8 but the latest is: jre-8-ea-bin-b18-windows-i586-21_dec_2011.exe - which tells me they are already on beta version 18 (32 and 64 bit). Also Update2 for JRE7 has been mentioned by others as being available.

Here are my scripts for Java 7. Keep in mind that this will only add the files to the autopatcher install list and has will be overwritten by the autopatcher updater if java is selected.

You have to download it yourself (http://www.oracle.co...java/index.html) and manually place the files in a folder: modules\AddOns\java_files. This file goes in: modules\AddOns as either Java_x86.apm or Java_x64.apm

Ha, you are quite the busy little bee. Thanks for all the updates. I will see about working some/all of them into the release list.

Edit:
Java is now listed in releases.list as:
Java RE 7 Update 2 (x86)
Java RE 7 Update 2 (x64)

Created scripts to do the downloading. Copied DCS78' APM files. NO .rti files yet though. (apup's won't be happy about that, they will keep downloading each time you run apup)
NOTE: I had to make changes to the x86 apm due to C:\Program Files (x86) not existing in a true x86 system not to mention people can modify where the program files directory is with windows install scripts.

[DCS78]

I hadn't thought about native x86 support.
That is quite a task trying to keep general compatability.

Just remembered the solution I saw in someone elses code:

FilePath=progfiles:\Java\jre7\bin

What do you use to edit the rti files. I've not been able to figure them out.

Also, I found a program that you might want to add to the tools:

RTI files are signed files made with an RTI tool. We use them to sign the downloads as official but, I can't remember how to use it at the moment. lol I will probably sign the downloads tomorrow. ohh wait... I guess since its 1am I mean later today.
Also as for using progfiles: I can't remember if that works for x64 systems as well(as in does it report the x86 dir or the x64 dir). I will also look into that.

[Whatacrock]

I ran APUP2 this morning and once the release list was displayed noticed the date on Java x86 and x64 was for 17th November.
Just to let you know
CHeers

[ViroMan]

I used the date of the credentials on the javas since I didn't know when they came out. They were signed on NOV 17th.

[Whatacrock]

Hey Viroman, reran the updater after reading your post and still showing errors with the java x86 and x64 releases.Autopatcher displays as an unofficial/unsupported version and when I checked the reases info it shows GuitarMike and Cristiano with a date of 20111001 with the official column stating false. Just to let you know
Cheers

[ViroMan]

Sorry about that... that is because of the old RTI file. I forgot to replace them with new ones. I will do that some time today.


Edit: I should stop saying I will do it later when I mean I will do it in 10 mins. Its done.

[Whatacrock]

Well done Viroman and also to DCS78 for his work on the script.
All good now....Time to make an updated disc.
Cheers
Bruce

[DCS78]

Viroman - FYI, There is a small detection glitch in the new Java scripts.

KeyName=Java6FamilyVersion
to
KeyName=Java7FamilyVersion

Looks like you have your hands full keeping up but your doing a great job.

[ViroMan]

bah! bad dcs78 bad. I used your apm.

although its my fault too... I should have checked it. although I don't really need to make the change due to the file detection working. I will eventually get to it though.

There is no file detection in the apm that APUP downloaded so it will not detect correctly until Keyname is changed.

I thought I did change it

edit: huh... I guess not... Its fixed now.

[click-click]

Works now. Thanks..

[Whatacrock]

Ran upup2 this morning and ran into the verification failure whereupon I ran autopatcher to find it stating unofficial/unsupported version.Looking in it from the release info found the culprit to be Java x64 stating status as false.

Just a heads up

[ViroMan]

hmm strange..it was working... wonder what changed. Ohh well its fixed now... somehow the rti became wrong.

[Whatacrock]

Still the same.... I shredded the apm, rti, and file from autopatcher , ran the updater again and same result as before.

[ViroMan]

try using apup instead of apup2(it has that caching bug)
