I've finally got this plugin working and I've been quite happy with it, but I can't seem to get JAVA to update on any of our machines. It will work if I the job locally, but it doesn't seem to do anything via the plugin. Other apps install and update fine.

Any suggestions?

It has to do with the way the package was built and needing Admin Privs and a logged in user. We are looking in to ways to better resolve this issue. But currently it is outside of our ability to manage another maintainers package needs.

We have in the interim added a "As admin" switch for apporved packages that may help in deployments

Is there a way to change the common apps to install AsAdmin?

Thanks to revsmitty, I went back and had a look at the As Admin piece to see if there was a reason it may not be working as intended and sure enough we missed a place where we inject the correct script to do the "as admin" functions. We have corrected this and released build 2.0.1.32 to address this problem.

Keep in mind Java has some requirements for install. Desktop must be logged in for admin script to function.

Thanks for this. Still haven't been successful with JAVA, but at least you are giving me hope.

Also have we looked at if the user had a browser open during your install attempts?

Any updates on this? We're still not able to get java to update successfully.

Post the errors you are getting from the scripts and or commands tabs.

Also is deployments tab in global showing system install attempts past 3?

The global attempts are showing 0 on almost all of the machines.

From your post it looks as if system #1 failed because it sat waiting for a Y/N response. The package was passed a -fy which is "force" and "Yes to all" so whom ever built the package or maybe even choco 10.0 may be to blame for that. I will check with Rob's team at Chocolatey to see if there is something we can do for that.

On system #2 it appears to have installed from the logs, did it install or was that a manual run from you? You may try the JRE8 command normally "without asAdmin" and see if you get past this as it runs as "system". See if you receive the same waiting for Y/N prompt.

Post back here your results
