The Sun JRE 1.6 is required for full Vista compatibility (although the Control Panel applet still does not prompt for elevation). This script uses the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6 Windows Offline package downloadable from the Sun Java SE Downloads page. For full details on a silent installation 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.
