First off I would like to say that I am aware of the software deployment module, however my company is interested in trying procedures before adding another monthly expense
I have proedures in place for flash and reader, and simply by executing on system account I was able to get around UAC with those. However, Java appears to not want to install via system account, so we tried a convoluted procedure to check for UAC registry keys, store them, delete them, install java, then reinstate the UAC registry keys. My partner was working on it so I don't know the details but it didnt end up working and exhibited very strange functionality on some systems that have had UAC turned off (which led me to think maybe we forgot a registry key)
At any rate, I feel this is something that had to have already been done by now, if someone has some insight it would be appreciated.
Thanks!
