- [JIRA] (JENKINS-5408) Quoting Issue ... [email protected] (JIRA)
Mr. Kawaguchi:
This problem is also occurring with JDK 7_06 (configuration: Latest Jenkins, Solaris master, Windows 7 32-bit slave). An example from console output for our build is as follows:
c:\jenkins\tools\JDK\jdk-1.7.0_06\jdk.exe /s /v /qn /L \"c:\jenkins\tools\JDK\jdk-1.7.0_06\jdk.exe.install.log\" REBOOT=ReallySuppress INSTALLDIR=\"c:\jenkins\tools\JDK\jdk-1.7.0_06\" results in an msiexec dialog (which means a hung installation).
Testing indicates that the INSTALLDIR property is the property which is considered invalid. By removing the escapes on the quotes and executing
c:\jenkins\tools\JDK\jdk-1.7.0_06\jdk.exe /s /v /qn /L \"c:\jenkins\tools\JDK\jdk-1.7.0_06\jdk.exe.install.log\" REBOOT=ReallySuppress INSTALLDIR="c:\jenkins\tools\JDK\jdk-1.7.0_06"
The install completes successfully and we can continue with the build process.
I understand your desire to conform to the JDK instructions, but the fact of the matter is that Oracle changes their installer methodology--often. The quote escape method used in the original comment, and the spec you mention, are relics from the very old versions of msiexec that were pushed out when JDK 1.5 was new. If you look at the new installers and the pages regarding their use, you can see that a) many of the options are no longer necessary and b) quote escaping has not been needed for a very long time.
In any case, it seems like the single quotes have been removed from the installer call, but not the escapes. Without one, you really shouldn't need the other.
