I'm trying to create a 3rd party custom update through WSUS Package Publisher however I can't manage to get the MSI code for Java as there is no MSI installer to use MSIReader on. If anyone knows how I can find this code then it would be much appreciated. It's managing to make me look bad as a Sys Admin at work.

Cheers, Glympse.

Two solutions :

  • Install the product and search in : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
  • Or to be aware that Oracle always used the same schema for these MSI Product code

Java 8 : 26a24ae4-039d-4ca4-87b4-2f83218025f0 = 32 Bit - Java 8u25

Java 7 : 26A24AE4-039D-4CA4-87B4-2F83217045FF = 32 Bit - Java 7u45
