Java
,→Install JRE with msi without removing old version in a mixed 32-bit/64-bit environment: You should install both 32-bit and 64-bit java on 64-bit machines
jre-6u17-windows-i586-s.exe is a 32bit app containing a msi, a cab and some other files.
On a 32-bit host it unpacks in in c:\Windows\system32\config\systemprofile\AppData\LocalLow\Sun\Java\jre1.6.0_17\.
On a 64-bit host it unpacks in c:\Windows\SysWOW64\config\systemprofile\AppData\LocalLow\Sun\Java\jre1.6.0_17\.The silent install on a 64-bit host is still looking for the msi in the 32-bit *System32* directory.
So the best thing to do is to install the msi package.
Copy the content of \Windows\SysWOW64\config\systemprofile\AppData\LocalLow\Sun\Java\jre1.6.0_17
on your server and install from it.
You should install both 32-bit and 64-bit java on 64-bit machines if you want a 32-bit browser being able to use java.
In this example, no uninstall of the old java versions as it is quite time consuming.
