Sub Tasks

Description
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 (progress 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 progress 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.

Comments
WORK AROUND

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

EVALUATION

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.
