SPSS Statistics? Not aware it installs JRE. It might have it's own self-contained Java but it doesn't install JRE that I know? ________________________________________ From: [email protected] [[email protected]] on behalf of Miller, Todd [[email protected]] Sent: 11 August 2014 19:02 To: [email protected] Subject: [mssms] RE: Internet Explorer & ActiveX
My main block to just deploying Java updates to all systems with Java installed is the two major statistical packages - SAS and SPSS. They both install very old customized versions of Java and as far as I can tell will not operate correctly with any current versions of Java. I have to be extra careful not to remove those versions of Java installed by SAS. If I mistakenly remove Java on one of these machines, it is about a 2.5 hour round trip to get SAS back working again. The version of Java that is tied in to IE can be upgraded on these systems, but it tricky business to uninstall/upgrade java for IE's use and leave only certain older versions installed for SAS - so I usually do not bother. Mostly the problem is keeping track of what machines have old java installed for a reason - and so cannot be upgraded while keeping all of the other Java installations up to date. What I have done is created a special entry in the registry on machines that need to be passed over while doing Java updates. The java upgrade script I wrote checks for that registry key before any upgrade is performed. It is going to be a lot of work on those workstations with the aforementioned stats packages installed to keep IE's Java install up to date. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of John Aubrey Sent: Monday, August 11, 2014 12:31 PM To: '[email protected]' Subject: [mssms] RE: Internet Explorer & ActiveX How are you guys going to handle this? The two most logical answers are keep java up to date or disable this via GPO. I think I'm going to give it a try to keep everything up to date, but am going to keep the GPO ready as well. We don't have any real business use for Java or flash. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Stephen Murley Sent: Saturday, August 9, 2014 2:17 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [mssms] Internet Explorer & ActiveX Just in case anyone has missed the news: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ie/archive/2014/08/07/stay-up-to-date-with-internet-explorer.aspx http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ie/archive/2014/08/06/internet-explorer-begins-blocking-out-of-date-activex-controls.aspx ________________________________ [http://www.plymouth.ac.uk/images/email_footer.gif]<http://www.plymouth.ac.uk/worldclass> This email and any files with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the recipient to whom it is addressed.
