I have already deployed Java 6 update 21 via Group Policy. This seemed to work quite well.
Now that Java 6 update 22 has been released, I would like to deploy this via GP over Java 6 update 21.
Has anyone here used GP to deploy Java (JRE not JDK)?
If so, do you simply create another distribution point with the new version and let Java take care off removing the previous version and installing the new one or...
Do you use the Software Deployment Upgrade option in the Software Deployment Package settings (designate the package that is to be upgraded)???
------------------------------
Lastly, could someone confirm (or not) that it is necessary to stop the Java Quick Starter service before upgrading?
I do not see that service running on my machine, for example, so it may not be an issue.
This link seems to suggest that it may be necessary to disable it:
If so, where would I place this code to disable Java Quick Starter:
<install cmd='net STOP JavaQuickStarterService' ><exit code='2' /></install>
