FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
jre1.6.0_10.msi

ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Windows XP Pro SP3 (32bits)

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
When Java JRE 1.6u10 is installed with msiexec in unattended mode, if the "/qb!" switch is used ( customer  bar but no "cancel" button), the installation fails with "Error 1606.Could not access network location 0."

If antorher switch is used such as "/qn" (no dialog box at all), the installation works fine.

LOOKS LIKE BUG #6510981

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
 - Put the .msi and the "Data1.cab" files on a network share

 - Try to deploy the msi using the command: msiexec /i \\server\hare\file.msi /qb! REBOOT=Suppress ALLUSERS=1

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
A dialog box with a  customer  bar but no "Cancel" button should appear and Java JRE 1.6u10 should be installed.
ACTUAL -
The installation fails with a dialog box that says "Error 1606 Could not access network location 0." Java JRE 1.6u10 is not installed

ERROR MESSAGES/STACK TRACES THAT OCCUR :
Attached seperatly

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
Do no use the "/qb!" switch, the "/qn" switch has been tested successfully.

Release Regression From : 6u7
The above release value was the last known release where this 
bug was not reproducible. Since then there has been a regression.
Posted Date : 2008-10-29 08:35:51.0

/q, /qn (no UI), /qr (reduced UI), and /quiet (quiet mode, no user interation) work.

I have done some investigation and here is the summary. So far, I am not able to find the cause of the error.
I collected the verbose log files for both 6u11 and 6u7 which does not have the issue.

For 6u11 log file, I see the error in the log

I see the TARGETDIR was set to "D\" in both cases which "D:\" does not exist. The error in 6u11 seems to indicate that the issue is the invalid path. But, it does not give error for 6u7 if the issue is "D:\" for TARGETDIR

But, When I do "msiexec /i jre1.6.0_11.msi /qb! /l*v c:/6u11b.log TARGETDIR="valid drive" ROOTDRIVE="valid drive"". I am still getting the same error even the TARGETDIR is set to a valid path.

I am trying to deploy this version of Java with just the MSI and a simple transformation MST file. On some PCs that already have a Java install it freezes the PC before the login prompt with 'Deploying Managed sotware: Java'. On clean machines without a Java install it seems fine.

Would this bug be impacting me in that situation. If so whats the recommended action?
- Build a wrapper for the MSI that uses the /qn switch.
- Use version 6u7.
- What for a fix.

I noticed you also get the same error running an repair install '/fa'
msiexec /fa jre1.6.0_10.msi /t Java_IE_Moz_NoUpdate.mst /lv! logme.txt

Should have mentioned I am using a Computer based Group Policy for deployment not msiexec on the command line.

Also found this bug which could be similar ---> 6759045
http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6759045

Another way to fix the issue is to edit the MSI and replace every instance of 'UILevel=2' with 'UILevel<=3' and every instance of 'UILevel<>2' with 'UILevel>3' (credit to 'Lamarth ' at http://www.appdeploy.com/packages/detail.asp?id=923 for this suggestion). This appears to work & could be implemented into future versions of the installer.

Applied the changed recommend by Lamarth and received the same error. If I only use the /qn switch (rather than the /qb!) then JRE does not install properly (no Sun Java Console under the tools menu in IE and settings in deployment.properties are not applied). So neither switch (/qn or /qb!) currently works.

neither switch (/qn or /qb!),
even if I tried with .EXE file with swicht /QUIET  not installed, didn<t receive error message but not appears in add/remove
