I am using SCCM 2007. I think the light bulb came on and I know what to do now. Getting ready to test!

I’m not sure what you mean by “the command line box”, but the mklink command needs to be executed before the Java installer is launched. How you would do this depends on how you are running the commands, e.g., what product you are using.

Hello, please excuse my inexperience, but I was wondering where the mklink command goes when setting up the program? Does it go before the Java executable command in the “Command Line:” box? If so, are the separate commands separated with anything special in the box? Thanks for any info regarding this.

Sounds like you opened the wrong file at step 8, perhaps DEFAULT instead of SYSTEM. (The DEFAULT hive contains Control Panel, Keyboard Layout and Software keys.)

Thanks for your help. I hope you are still answering to questions. I have managed to go up to step 11, in step 12 however, when I open the ‘xxx’ file I can not see the ‘set up’ file. Is there a way around it?
All i can see is control panel, keyboard layout and software. What could be wrong
