FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
windows 7 32 bit and windows 7 64 bit
A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Consider the following scenario:
- Old version of Java is installed on computer.
- A Java update is preformed and completed successfully.
- The Updater does not set the correct registry value for that version update (in some cases, it's not
consistent).
- WMI is used to get java installed versions, but it's getting the wrong value from the registry. The version
that is returned is the version that was installed before the update
- The wmi query is:
SELECT * from win32_product where Name LIKE "Java%Update%"
(we used wbemtest tool to run the wmi query)
Consider the following limitations:
- The bug was restored only using Java Updater. If the new version is downloaded manually, then the correct
version is reported.
- The bug does not repeat it self consistently, It seems to have connection to multiple installations of 32bit
and 64bit on the same computer.
- All of our tests was with updating Java to JRE 7 update 55 or 60 which is the most recent Java 7 version.
Though, we cannot say the bug is relevant for that version updates only.
REGRESSION. Last worked in version 7u60
STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
- The bug was restored using Java Updater (control panel) or from updating manually using chrome.
- The bug does not repeat it self consistently, It seems to have connection to multiple installations of 32bit and 64bit on the same computer.
- All of our tests was with updating Java to JRE 7 update 55 or 60 which is the most recent Java 7 version.
Though, we cannot say the bug is relevant for that version updates only.
EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
when Java 7 Update 60 installed using the wmi query:
SELECT * from win32_product where Name LIKE "Java%Update%"
(we used wbemtest tool to run the wmi query)
instead of getting Java 7 Update 60 we got Java 7 Update 55.(the java we had before)
