JRE Deployment with Active Directory

Follow these steps to extract the .msi file from the installer to deploy the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) across an Active Directory-based network:

  1. Download the Windows Offline Installation JRE executable (.exe) file from Java SE Downloads and install the JRE.

  2. Navigate to the user's Application Data folder. The location of this folder differs for each Windows platform.

    Note: Depending on your version of Windows, you can navigate directly to this folder by typing %APPDATA% in the Windows Explorer Address Bar; the Run command; or in Windows 7, the Search box that appears in the Start menu.

    The .msi file appears in the folder that corresponds to the release and update number of the JRE. For example, the following are the locations of .msi files for JRE 7u4:

  3. Use Active Directory to distribute the JRE .msi file to as many client Windows platforms as you want.
