UPDATE: I’ve added a script for installing the Sun Java Runtime Environment 1.6 Update 1 that I recommend using instead of this script.
This is an update to the Sun J2SE 1.5.0_08 script. As of this version the /s and /v parameters appear to be case sensitive. I’ve also added a few more registry entries that are edited after installation as well. This script uses the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 5.0 Update 10, downloadable from the Sun web site - when downloading, be sure to choose the Offline installation. For complete documentation on installing the Sun JRE silently see the Silent Installation documentation on the Sun web site.

A number of applications are specific to a particular version on the JRE. Adding a few registry entries can be used to fool the application into thinking that the specific Java version it requires is installed Here’s a couple of examples - fooling Citrix Presentation Server and the IBM BladeCentre/RSA management tool into using the latest version of Java. You could use the same trick for other software that requires a specific version of Java, but it’s not guaranteed to work.
