→Update for Java 7: new 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)
== Update for Java 7 ==
I've edited the instructions and code extensively for update 7. Apart from minor things (like spelling changes), I've:
# added commands to remove the auto update and quick starter features to both .exe and .msi sections
# removed the extra checks from the .msi section so that it only checks Add/Remove Programs names and not registry keys and binaries too. Was there a particular reason why these names were unreliable?
# moved instructions relating to version 6 to the older versions section, placing the WPKG package code much closer to the top of the page!
# amended the download links so they relate to 7
# the new .exe installer seems to cope with JQS running, so I amended the guidance
# added install/upgrade conditions to reflect that this is update 00 and the installation appears as "Java (TM) Version 7" rather than "Java (TM) Version 7 Update 00" in Add/Remove Programs
