Silent install fails with error 1603 due to incorrect "INSTALLDIR" parameter

    • x86_64
    • windows_10

      A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
      Installing with GUI works fine. Installing in silent mode results in the following error (even when INSTALLDIR parameter is manually specified):

      Product: Java 8 Update 181 (64-bit) -- Error 1722. There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor. Action installexe, location: C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_181\installer.exe, command: /s INSTALLDIR="C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_181\\" REPAIRMODE=0 ProductCode={26A24AE4-039D-4CA4-87B4-2F64180181F0}

      STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
      Run the installer with the /s parameter or with a INSTALLCFG file with silent install enabled

      EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
      EXPECTED -
      The install should work
      ACTUAL -
      The install fails with error 1603

      CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
      No workaround - install with GUI

      FREQUENCY : always
