==Java 6 (JRE/SDK), generic solution==
 +
This is my personal solution. Works properly for me starting from Java 6 Update 10.
 +
It works on Windows XP and Vista. 64-bit OS is supported as well as 32-bit OS.
 +
It also seems that Sun is not going to install each Java update into an independent directory. Well, Update 11 is not out yet, but when I look to the new install directory structure one might think that upcoming updates will overwrite the files. This will hopefully eliminate the need to uninstall previous versions manually.
 +
 +
===Download===
 +
First of all download the offline installers. Do not download the new Online installers. It might work as well but I did not try it.
 +
After download you should have the following files (or a subset of it):
 +
* jdk-6u10-windows-i586-p.exe
 +
* jdk-6u10-windows-x64.exe
 +
* jre-6u10-windows-i586-p.exe
 +
* jre-6u10-windows-x64.exe
 +
 +
If you just deploy JRE, then you do not need to download the JDK packages. Similarly you do not need the x64 packages if you deploy to 32-bit OS only.
 +
 +
===Prepare installation===
 +
Unfortunately the .exe installers do not always work silently when the "/v/qn..." switch is used. On 64-bit OS it might yield a "package not found" error in silent installation. That's why I recommend to pre-extract the packages.
 +
 +
# Run the installer as usual (e.g. double-click "jdk-6u10-windows-i586-p.exe"
 +
# Get the extracted installer from "%AppData%\Sun\Java\" ("%LocalAppData%\..\LocalLow\Sun\Java" in Vista) and copy them to the package deployment folder. Do this for all packages you like to deploy. Here's a sample how my directory structure looks after extracting and copying:
 +
#* JavaSE/install.cmd
 +
#* JavaSE/jdk1.6.0_10_32/jdk-6u10-windows-i586-p.exe
 +
#* JavaSE/jdk1.6.0_10_32/jdk1.6.0_10.msi

Please NOTE: There are some *.cmd scripts listed which I use as install scripts. The scripts are listed within the following chapters.
 +
 +
===Package definition===
 +
<source lang="xml">
 +
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
 +
<packages>
 +
 +
<package id='JRE' name='Java runtime environment' revision='16010' priority='50' reboot='false' >
 +
  <!-- Java runtime environment -->
 +
  <check type='logical' condition='or'>
 +
  <check type='uninstall' condition='exists' path='Java(TM) 6 Update 10' />
 +
  <check type='uninstall' condition='exists' path='Java(TM) 6 Update 10 (64-bit)' />
 +
  </check>
 +
  <install cmd='"%SOFTWARE%\JavaSE\unattended-jre.cmd"' />
 +
  <remove cmd='"%SOFTWARE%\JavaSE\unattended-jre-uninstall.cmd"' />
 +
  <upgrade cmd='"%SOFTWARE%\JavaSE\unattended-jre.cmd"' />
 +
</package>
 +
 +
</packages>
 +
</source>
 +
 +
As you can see the package just runs the unattended* cmd script which will make sure the right packages for the currently running operating system is executed.
 +
 +
NOTE: This package definition is for JRE installation. If you would like to deploy JDK, then just refer to unattended-jdk* scripts insted.
 +
 +
===The scripts===
 +
As listed above there are some scripts required. And here they come...
 +
 +
NOTE: The unattended* scripts are basically identical for all versions - they just need to list the correct MSI file within the header (PKG32 and PKG64 variables).
 +
 +
unattended-jre.cmd / unattended-jre-uninstall.cmd (both files are identical, you might also link them on Unix/Linux level).

As you can see the script is mainly used to determine the correct installer for 32- or 64-bit operating system.
 +
 +
NOTE: I am installing 32-bit version on 64-bit OS as well. This assures that 32-bit browsers can run the Java plug-in too.
 +
 +
Due to the fact that lots of installers are using always the same silent switches I prepared a generic "install.cmd" script. So I can just pass the installer filename and the type of installer as parameters and I do not have to care about the switches each time.
 +

That's it. This framework is quite easy to re-use for upgrades. The only thing you have to do is to download the Java Offline installers for the edition you like to deploy, then extract it, put the files to a sub-folder of the scripts (see directory structure outlined above) and then change the PKG32 and PKG64 paths on top of the scripts accordingly.

Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6 Update 7

You are encouraged to upgrade for security reasons to Update 7: http://secunia.com/advisories/31010/.

This requires the Windows Offline installation package available from Sun. Note that the java install package does not replace old versions, so JRE 1.5 and JRE 1.6 can coexist; all older 1.6 update versions (1.6.0 up to 1.6.0 Update 6) are tried to be removed (note that the update version is reflected in the last number in the Uninstall ID). Notice how the path string in the uninstall check has changed from previous version.

For the JDK, just change "jre" to "jdk" in the setup program's name and change "A77B" to "A78A" in the Uninstall ID.

For the JDK, we had to replace {3248F0A8-6813-11D6-A77B- with {32A3A4F4-B792-11D6-A78A-. This works and tested with Java6u7

Further Details

J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 5

First download the EXE package from java.sun.com, install it, and find an MSI package on your drive. Then use this MSI to distribute Java to other machines.

Note: When you use the *.exe file directly with command line switches as proposed by sun the installer waits forever for someone accepting the licence agreement.

Note that "install cmd" should be in one line; it was wrapped because it was too long to fit here!

Java 6 (JRE/SDK), generic solution

This is my personal solution. Works properly for me starting from Java 6 Update 10. It works on Windows XP and Vista. 64-bit OS is supported as well as 32-bit OS. It also seems that Sun is not going to install each Java update into an independent directory. Well, Update 11 is not out yet, but when I look to the new install directory structure one might think that upcoming updates will overwrite the files. This will hopefully eliminate the need to uninstall previous versions manually.

Download

First of all download the offline installers. Do not download the new Online installers. It might work as well but I did not try it. After download you should have the following files (or a subset of it):

  • jdk-6u10-windows-i586-p.exe
  • jdk-6u10-windows-x64.exe
  • jre-6u10-windows-i586-p.exe
  • jre-6u10-windows-x64.exe

If you just deploy JRE, then you do not need to download the JDK packages. Similarly you do not need the x64 packages if you deploy to 32-bit OS only.

Prepare installation

Unfortunately the .exe installers do not always work silently when the "/v/qn..." switch is used. On 64-bit OS it might yield a "package not found" error in silent installation. That's why I recommend to pre-extract the packages.

  1. Run the installer as usual (e.g. double-click "jdk-6u10-windows-i586-p.exe"
  2. Get the extracted installer from "%AppData%\Sun\Java\" ("%LocalAppData%\..\LocalLow\Sun\Java" in Vista) and copy them to the package deployment folder. Do this for all packages you like to deploy. Here's a sample how my directory structure looks after extracting and copying:
    • JavaSE/install.cmd
    • JavaSE/jdk1.6.0_10_32/jdk-6u10-windows-i586-p.exe
    • JavaSE/jdk1.6.0_10_32/jdk1.6.0_10.msi

    • JavaSE/jdk1.6.0_10_x64/jdk-6u10-windows-x64.msi

    • JavaSE/jre1.6.0_10_32/jre-6u10-windows-i586-p.exe
    • JavaSE/jre1.6.0_10_32/jre1.6.0_10.msi
    • JavaSE/jre1.6.0_10_x64/Data1.cab
    • JavaSE/jre1.6.0_10_x64/jre-6u10-windows-x64.exe
    • JavaSE/jre1.6.0_10_x64/jre1.6.0_10.msi
    • JavaSE/unattended-jdk-uninstall.cmd
    • JavaSE/unattended-jdk.cmd
    • JavaSE/unattended-jre-uninstall.cmd
    • JavaSE/unattended-jre.cmd

Please NOTE: There are some *.cmd scripts listed which I use as install scripts. The scripts are listed within the following chapters.

As you can see the package just runs the unattended* cmd script which will make sure the right packages for the currently running operating system is executed.

NOTE: This package definition is for JRE installation. If you would like to deploy JDK, then just refer to unattended-jdk* scripts insted.

The scripts

As listed above there are some scripts required. And here they come...

NOTE: The unattended* scripts are basically identical for all versions - they just need to list the correct MSI file within the header (PKG32 and PKG64 variables).

unattended-jre.cmd / unattended-jre-uninstall.cmd (both files are identical, you might also link them on Unix/Linux level).

As you can see the script is mainly used to determine the correct installer for 32- or 64-bit operating system.

NOTE: I am installing 32-bit version on 64-bit OS as well. This assures that 32-bit browsers can run the Java plug-in too.

Due to the fact that lots of installers are using always the same silent switches I prepared a generic "install.cmd" script. So I can just pass the installer filename and the type of installer as parameters and I do not have to care about the switches each time. So here it comes: 

@echo off

That's it. This framework is quite easy to re-use for upgrades. The only thing you have to do is to download the Java Offline installers for the edition you like to deploy, then extract it, put the files to a sub-folder of the scripts (see directory structure outlined above) and then change the PKG32 and PKG64 paths on top of the scripts accordingly.
