For every field that is filled out correctly, points will be rewarded, some fields are optional but the more you provide the more you will get rewarded! Scroll down and select Java (only the newer version if you have more than one), e.g., Java 8 Update 171, from the Apps and Features screen and then click the Uninstall button. Click Yes to confirm the program uninstall. If an older version of Java, e.g., Java 8 Update 161, is shown do not uninstall it. Leave it in place. Java latest version download - Best answers.

Oracle has released 'Java Platform, Standard Edition 8 Update 161' also known as ‘Java Runtime Environment Version 8.0 Update 161'.
This release contains fixes for security vulnerabilities.
First of all download and run either jre-8u161-windows-i586.exe for Windows 7 / 8 / 8.1 / 10 / XP 32-bit or jre-8u161-windows-x64.exe for Windows 7 / 8 / 8.1 / 10 / XP 64-bit. If you use 32-bit and 64-bit browsers interchangeably, you will need to install both 32-bit and 64-bit Java in order to have the Java plug-in for both browsers. These offline installers are available in the Java SE Runtime Environment 8 Downloads section of Oracle's Java website.
When the License Agreement screen pops up, look in the 'c:Documents and SettingsLocal SettingsApplication DataOracleJavajre1.8.0_161 directory' when you're using Windows XP or 'C:UsersAppDataLocalLowOracleJavajre1.8.0_161' when your're using Windows 7 / 8 / 8.1 / 10.
For the x64 version look in the 'C:UsersAppDataLocalLowOracleJavajre1.8.0_161_x64' directory. In that directory you will find the ‘jre1.8.0_161.msi‘. The jre1.8.0_161 msi file is the one we can use to deploy 'Java Runtime Environment Version 8.0 Update 161' by using MSI technology.
Start up the AdminStudio Tuner and create a response transform file. It's as simple as that if you want to do a default deployment. For an advanced deployment you can further tweak you J2RE configuration two ways:
- by changing the ‘Setup Properties'
- by changing registry settings
The result is the same. You can change some basic ‘Setup Properties' in the Tuner:
- AUTOUPDATECHECK – Java Update mechanism – on {1} or off {0}
- EULA – popup the EULA when you first start a Java applet – on {1} or off {0}
- IEXPLORER – indicates that the Plug-in should be registered with the Internet Explorer browser – on {1} or off {0}
- JAVAUPDATE – indicates that the Java Update feature should be disabled (the Update tab in the Java Plug-in Control Panel will not appear) – on {1} or off {0}However, it seems that using the property doesn't work anymore and that you have to set this registry key additionally:[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREJavaSoftJava UpdatePolicy]'EnableAutoUpdateCheck'=dword:00000000
- MOZILLA – indicates that the Plug-in should be registered with Mozilla 1.1 and later browsers – on {1} or off {0}
- WEB_JAVA – if used, disables any Java application from running in the browser. WEB_JAVA=1, the default, enables Java applications in the browser. This field is available as of the 7u10 release. For more information, see Setting the Security Level of the Java Client.
- WEB_JAVA_SECURITY_LEVEL, if used, sets the security level of unsigned Java apps running in a browser. The possible values for this field are V (very high), H (high), M (medium, the default) or L (low). This field is available as of the 7u10 release. For more information, see Setting the Security Level of the Java Client.
… but you can also collect the JRE's registry settings to tweak the JRE a little more.
Java 7 Update 101 Download
Launch the 'Java Control Panel' (available in c:Program FilesJavajre8binjavacpl.exe). Most settings you will change by using this utility will then be stored in the registry in [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREJavaSoft]. Some examples:
- Click on the 'Update' tab. If you uncheck the 'Check for Update Automatically' you will shutdown the Java Update mechanism. This may be wise, because we want to deploy newer versions by using ZENworks and not automatically by using the Java Update mechanism.
- If you want to disable the ‘Update' tab, then use this registry setting to enable (00000001) or disable it (00000000):[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREJavaSoftJava UpdatePolicy]'EnableJavaUpdate'=dword:00000000
Some settings however are stored somewhere else. Some examples:
- Click on the 'Advanced' tab. If you open up the 'Miscellaneous' node by clicking on the + sign, you can check or uncheck 'Place Java icon in system tray'. Which just does what is says. Now it has become more difficult for users to fiddle around with the J2RE configuration. This setting is stored in:C:Documents and Settings%USERNAME%AppDataSunJavaDeploymentdeployment.properties.as: 'deployment.system.tray.icon=true'
- Click on the 'General' tab. Click on ‘Network Settings'. The settings you configure are also stored in the deployment.properties file.This ‘deployment.properties' file is used for storing and retrieving deployment configuration properties in the Java Control Panel. They are also used for customizing runtime behavior for both Java Plug-in and Java Web Start. There is always a User-Level deployment.properties file. Its location, which is non-configurable, is described here. There may also be an (optional) System-Level deployment.properties file. If it exists, its location is determined by a System Administrator through the deployment.config file as described here.
You can add a Custom Action (1122) to your Transform file, where you run this command:
cmd.exe /C rmdir '%PROGRAMDATA%MicrosoftWindowsStart MenuProgramsJava' /S
to remove the Start Menu shortcuts. In the InstallUIExecuteSequence table you set the Sequence ID of this Custom Action to ‘3183'. Which is then between the InstallJava custom action (3181), which apparently create these shortcuts, and InstallFinalize (3185).
Java is so ubiquitous it's almost an essential part of computing life. Over three billion devices use it, including – of course – computers. A very long time ago, it was even installed as part of Windows, but some legal shenanigans later, and now only Apple users have it installed alongside the operating system. Windows and Linux users will need to install it separately.
What makes Java so popular? Its cross-platform for starters, so if you code an application in Java, it'll run on any computer – Windows, Mac or Linux – that has Java installed. It's also extensively used on various websites, so all-in-all it's worth installing even as an insurance policy.
You might be surprised to discover which applications require Java – often, they'll automatically bundle and install it automatically during the setup process, but sometimes it doesn't quite go to plan, and all you'll be told is that you need Java.
Should you ever find yourself confronted by this message, you'll need this, the Java Runtime Environment (JRE), which consists of everything you need to run Java through your web browser and – through the bundled Java Virtual Machine – applications on your computer.
Just click the link above for your platform to download the very latest build on your computer, and you should find the previously misbehaving application works properly again.
Once installed, Java will run unobtrusively in the background, only popping up when an update is released – at most other times it's invisible, even when being used.

Note this is the 64-bit version of Java. Unless you exclusively use 64-bit browsers, you should also install the 32-bit version.
