::: That is, using the .MSI for installation DOES RESPECT the JAVAUPDATE=0, JU=0, and AUTOUPDATECHECK=0 property modifications.
::: Infact, using the .MSI with those values installs the JRE, does not add the jusched.exe in HKLM run registry key, there is no evidence of the "c:\program files\common files\Java Update\" directory, and does not even show the "Updates" tab in the Control Panel Java Icon (four tabs instead of five). I'm pretty happy with this, well, at least until Sun/Oracle will change the behaviour of their installer once again. Thank you all, [[User:Ilgino|Ilgino]] 15:04, 17 March 2010 (CET)
==Please retain info for various versions==
I created a section for JRE 6.0 update 10 that described the huge changes in that version. Someone has renamed that section 'update 19' and so we can no longer see that a big change happened at update 10. I think it important that we keep a record of how the software operated (such as command-line switches), or changed (such as patch-in-place coming in in 6.0 update 10), with respect to its use with WPKG, from version to version for those versions where there are notable changes, so that this site is a useful record for people who're working with various versions of the software, or are upgrading. All this historical information can easily and cleanly be kept in one page if each version worth commenting on has its own section.
Another example is the installer switches for each major version. Please leave them in place for the earlier versions, when they change with a later version, so that we can see the way things where and how they changed with the next version. This also helps disambiguate when you see somewhere on the web people claiming installer switches behave one way, which may not work for you, you can come here and see that that may have been the case with an earlier version but may not now be the case. All this historic info is a valuable resource.
I will attempt to restore some of this information that may have been lost. [[User:Pete|Pete Boyd]] 23:06, 8 April 2010 (CEST)
