UAC Prompt for "C:\PROGRA~2\Java\jre7\bin\ssvagent.exe" -new -high when opening IE11

XMLWordPrintable

    • x86
    • windows_8

      FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
      1.7.0_80-b15

      ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
      Windows 8.1
      Windows 7 SP1


      EXTRA RELEVANT SYSTEM CONFIGURATION :
      Internet Explorer 11

      A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
      It's the same behaviour as in Bug #7092290, which should be fixed already.

      Java 1.6.0_45 was installed on the PC, then 1.7.0_80 is installed in parallel.
      On some clients opening IE11 then results in a UAC for the following command: "C:\PROGRA~2\Java\jre7\bin\ssvagent.exe" -new -high
      Even if a newer version is installed in parallel (1.8.0_92), UAC keeps coming up with 1.7.0_80 asking for administrative rights.

      ACTUAL -
      JRE should never ask for administrative rights when opening IE.

      REPRODUCIBILITY :
      This bug can be reproduced occasionally.

      CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
      Disable SSV-Helper Plugin in IE or provide administrative rights once
