Oracle has released “Java Platform, Standard Edition 8 Update 144” also known as ‘Java Runtime Environment Version 8.0 Update 144’.
The dialog to install Java 8 Update 144 popped up on my mac, and the installation ran without any problem on Sierra. However, after I installed it, then I discovered that none of the browsers on my mac wanted to run it. These are the messages they displayed: The Chrome browser does not support NPAPI plug-ins and therefore will not run all Java. Java Version 8 Update 45 free download - Java Runtime Environment (JRE), DJ Java Decompiler, Java Launcher, and many more programs. These Java SE 8 update releases are provided under the Binary Code License (“BCL”). Java SE 8u211 and later updates are available, under the Java SE OTN License. For production use Oracle recommends downloading the latest JDK and JRE versions and allowing auto-update. Only developers and Enterprise administrators should download these releases.
This release contains fixes for security vulnerabilities.
First of all download and run either jre-8u144-windows-i586.exe for Windows 7 / 8 / 8.1 / 10 / XP 32-bit or jre-8u144-windows-x64.exe for Windows 7 / 8 / 8.1 / 10 / XP 64-bit. If you use 32-bit and 64-bit browsers interchangeably, you will need to install both 32-bit and 64-bit Java in order to have the Java plug-in for both browsers. These offline installers are available in the Java SE Runtime Environment 8 Downloads section of Oracle’s Java website.
When the License Agreement screen pops up, look in the “c:Documents and Settings<username>Local SettingsApplication DataOracleJavajre1.8.0_144 directory” when you’re using Windows XP or “C:Users<username>AppDataLocalLowOracleJavajre1.8.0_144” when your’re using Windows 7 / 8 / 8.1 / 10.
For the x64 version look in the “C:Users<username>AppDataLocalLowOracleJavajre1.8.0_144_x64” directory. In that directory you will find the ‘jre1.8.0_144.msi‘. The jre1.8.0_144 msi file is the one we can use to deploy “Java Runtime Environment Version 8.0 Update 144” by using MSI technology.
Start up the AdminStudio Tuner and create a response transform file. It’s as simple as that if you want to do a default deployment. For an advanced deployment you can further tweak you J2RE configuration two ways:
- by changing the ‘Setup Properties’
- by changing registry settings
The result is the same. You can change some basic ‘Setup Properties’ in the Tuner:
- AUTOUPDATECHECK – Java Update mechanism – on {1} or off {0}
- EULA – popup the EULA when you first start a Java applet – on {1} or off {0}
- IEXPLORER – indicates that the Plug-in should be registered with the Internet Explorer browser – on {1} or off {0}
- JAVAUPDATE – indicates that the Java Update feature should be disabled (the Update tab in the Java Plug-in Control Panel will not appear) – on {1} or off {0}However, it seems that using the property doesn’t work anymore and that you have to set this registry key additionally:[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREJavaSoftJava UpdatePolicy]“EnableAutoUpdateCheck”=dword:00000000
- MOZILLA – indicates that the Plug-in should be registered with Mozilla 1.1 and later browsers – on {1} or off {0}
- WEB_JAVA – if used, disables any Java application from running in the browser. WEB_JAVA=1, the default, enables Java applications in the browser. This field is available as of the 7u10 release. For more information, see Setting the Security Level of the Java Client.
- WEB_JAVA_SECURITY_LEVEL, if used, sets the security level of unsigned Java apps running in a browser. The possible values for this field are V (very high), H (high), M (medium, the default) or L (low). This field is available as of the 7u10 release. For more information, see Setting the Security Level of the Java Client.

… but you can also collect the JRE’s registry settings to tweak the JRE a little more.
Launch the “Java Control Panel” (available in c:Program FilesJavajre8binjavacpl.exe). Most settings you will change by using this utility will then be stored in the registry in [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREJavaSoft]. Some examples:
- Click on the “Update” tab. If you uncheck the “Check for Update Automatically” you will shutdown the Java Update mechanism. This may be wise, because we want to deploy newer versions by using ZENworks and not automatically by using the Java Update mechanism.
- If you want to disable the ‘Update’ tab, then use this registry setting to enable (00000001) or disable it (00000000):[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREJavaSoftJava UpdatePolicy]“EnableJavaUpdate”=dword:00000000
Some settings however are stored somewhere else. Some examples:
- Click on the “Advanced” tab. If you open up the “Miscellaneous” node by clicking on the + sign, you can check or uncheck “Place Java icon in system tray”. Which just does what is says. Now it has become more difficult for users to fiddle around with the J2RE configuration. This setting is stored in:C:Documents and Settings%USERNAME%AppDataSunJavaDeploymentdeployment.properties.as: “deployment.system.tray.icon=true”
- Click on the “General” tab. Click on ‘Network Settings’. The settings you configure are also stored in the deployment.properties file.This ‘deployment.properties’ file is used for storing and retrieving deployment configuration properties in the Java Control Panel. They are also used for customizing runtime behavior for both Java Plug-in and Java Web Start. There is always a User-Level deployment.properties file. Its location, which is non-configurable, is described here. There may also be an (optional) System-Level deployment.properties file. If it exists, its location is determined by a System Administrator through the deployment.config file as described here.
Java 8 Update 144 8u144
You can add a Custom Action (1122) to your Transform file, where you run this command:
Java Download Version 8 Update 144 Macos
cmd.exe /C rmdir “%PROGRAMDATA%MicrosoftWindowsStart MenuProgramsJava” /S
to remove the Start Menu shortcuts. In the InstallUIExecuteSequence table you set the Sequence ID of this Custom Action to ‘3183’. Which is then between the InstallJava custom action (3181), which apparently create these shortcuts, and InstallFinalize (3185).

Java Version 8 Update 201
It provides the libraries, the Java Virtual Machine, and other components to run applets and applications written in the Java programming language. In addition, two key deployment technologies are part of the JRE: Java Plug-in, which Enables Applets to Run in Popular Browsers; and Web Start, which deploys standalone applications over a network. Many cross-platform applications also require Java to operate properly.
Itis a programming language and computing platform first released by Sun Microsystems in 1995. There are lots of applications and websites that will not work unless you have Java installed, and more are created every day. The program is fast, secure, and reliable. From laptops to datacenters, game consoles to scientific supercomputers, cell phones to the Internet, Java is everywhere! Itis at the heart of the digital lifestyle. It's the platform for launching careers, exploring human-to-digital interfaces, architecting the world's best applications, and unlocking innovation everywhere—from garages to global organizations.
Why should I upgrade to the latest version?
The latest version contains important enhancements to improve the performance, stability, and security of the applications that run on your machine. Installing this free update will ensure that your applications continue to run safely and efficiently.
What will I get when I download software?
The Java Runtime Environment 64 bit (JRE) is what you get when you download software. The JRE consists of the Java Virtual Machine (JVM), Java platform core classes, and supporting Java platform libraries. The JRE is the runtime portion of the software, which is all you need to run it in your Web browser.
What is Java Plug-in software?
The program is a component of the (JRE). The JRE allows applets written in the programming language to run inside various internet browsers. The Plug-in software is not a standalone program and cannot be installed separately.
I have heard the terms Virtual Machine and JVM. Is this software?
The Virtual Machine is only one aspect of software that is involved in web interaction. The Java Virtual Machine is built right into your software download and helps run Java apps.
Note: When your installation completes, you may need to restart your browser (close all browser windows and re-open) to enable the installation.
