Java 7 Update 51 applicability

Justin, I'm understanding that the "(Upgrade)" package is properly detecting as NotInstalled, but the FullInstall package is not when JRE7 is already installed?

Specifically which of the three packages: x86, x64, or x86-for-x64 is displaying this behavior?

I agree, considering that the only rule is checking the version of the java.dll, and that's an identical rule to the "(Upgrade)" package, it's very difficult to think why the behavior would be different.

Lawrence, you're going to grow to hate my environment before too long.

I've only approved the x86 packages. The Full Install package is detecting as NotApplicable for computers that do not have update 51 already. The Upgrade package is only showing as NotApplicable if they never got Java 7 in the first place, which is what I'd expect. (And yes, now that I know there are some without it, that annoys the daylights out of me.)

Thank you for the clarification.

And you're certain that u51 has not been installed on those machines yet?

Yup. My own PC was one of the problem children.

Thanks Justin. We're looking into this.

Content Authors identified a defect in the Prerequsite Rules for the x86 package and republished it this morning.

Correct logic is: Arch='x86' AND (WindowsVersion >= '6.0.0.0 Server' OR WindowsVersion >= '5.1.0.0 Workstation')

Published (incorrect) logic was: Arch='x86' AND WindowsVersion >= '6.0.0.0 Server' AND WindowsVersion >= '5.1.0.0 Workstation'  -- which can NEVER be true, ergo everything was N/A.

Awesome, thanks!
