Subject: [mssms] How do I warn end-users before installing Java
Everyone,
I want to start pushing out Java 7 update 65 to my users. I have done this in
the past by just installing he MSI but running this MSI doesn't close IE, so
the new version of Java isn't enabled because IE is still running when Java is
updated.
I have figured out how to force close IE, Chrome, and Firefox before Java is
updated, but how do I warn users that their browser will be closed?
I looked at a task sequence but that is only useful if I am restarting the PC
not force closing an application.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
