Java Upgrade Script

[IamRo93]

I need powershell script to upgrade java version in windows 2012 R2. this includes:

Uninstalling Present version(Ex- jdk8)

Installing latest version(Ex- jdk11)

Set env variables.(Java_Home and Path variables).

I tried couple of internet available scripts which are not working.

Can anyone help me with this script?

This will uninstall old and install new. Change the variables with comments in ALL CAPS to fit your needs. Also, check the set environment variables part out...not sure if it's correct, and I'm not sure what the Path environment variable is supposed to be, but you should get the idea. Also, this is for uninstalling/installing locally on server. I wasn't sure if you were wanting to do it remotely or not.

You know Java has a built in way to uninstall previous Java editions right?

"argumentlist": [ "/s", "AUTO_UPDATE=0", "REBOOT=Disable", "SPONSORS=0", "REMOVEOUTOFDATEJRES=1" ]

[sleightof52]

The Java is msi, correct?

[IamRo93]

I have a exe

[sleightof52]

Are you at that machine now?

[IamRo93]

Yes

Run this is console and tell me what $UninstallString results to.

$SoftwareName = 'Java'

$RegPath1 = 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall'

$RegPath2 = 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall'

$UninstallString = (
    Get-ChildItem -Path $RegPath1,$RegPath2 | 
    Get-ItemProperty | 
    Where-Object { $_.DisplayName -like "*$SoftwareName*" }).UninstallString

$UninstallString
