We tell our Windows customers to go to:
Start/Control Panel/Java Plugin/Update (tab)
and remove the check from “Check for updates automatically”.
Has anyone figured out how to create a Windows bat file that will make this change? It would be nice to be able to include such a bat file as part of our installer, so that we will have more control over which version of Java is being used. Alternatively, if someone knows how to modify the Java installer itself, that would be a good approach as well.
