SOLUTION
Follow these steps to extract the .msi file from the installer for deployment through Active Directory based network:
- Download and launch the Windows Offline Installation executable (.exe) file.
- Navigate to LocalAppData folder (the user's Application Data folder). The location of the LocalAppData folder differs for each Windows platform.
Note: You can also navigate directly to APPData folder by typing : %APPDATA% in Windows Explorer Address Bar or Run.
- Windows Vista and Windows 7
C:\Users\<user>\AppData\LocalLow\Sun\Java\jre1.6.0_05\jre1.6.0_05.msi
- Windows XP
C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\ApplicationData\Sun\Java\ jre1.6.0_05\jre1.6.0_05.msi
- Windows 2000
C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\ApplicationData\Sun\Java\jre1.6.0_05\ jre1.6.0_05.msi
- From there, you can use Active Directory to distribute the Java msi file to as many client Windows platforms as you want.
