Windows .exe installer of JDK 8 is behaving differently than JDK 7uX installers when processing CLI parameters. While JDK 7uX installer accepts CLI parameters (see attached image with an example of running with /help), the JDK 8 installer fails to accept any CLI parameters (see attached image when trying /help with 8).

This is a serious blocker for NetBeans/JDK co-bundle and prevents the bundle installer from installing JDK.

This is an example of the command that NB/JDK bundle is running to install JDK:

C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_51\jdk-7u51-windows-x64.exe /s /qn /norestart /lv C:\Users\jirka\.nbi\log\20140131044939_jdk_install.log INSTALLDIR=C:\PROGRA~1\Java\JDK17~1.0_5 REBOOT=ReallySuppress, in directory: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_51

This needs to be fixed on JDK side before JDK 8 is releases. All the parameters in the command line mentioned above must be accepted and correctly processed by JDK 8 installer. Otherwise Netbeans 8.0 + JDK 8 co-bundle cannot be produced and released.
