RE: Kronos updates

Hi Susan,

Here is one way to deal with it on a departmental scale:

The JRE 5.0 Update 12 version can be downloaded from Sun for distribution
using an .MSI file from:

http://java.sun.com/products/archive/j2se/5.0_12/index.html

Instructions for how to extract the msi file from the "Offline Installer"
version are here:

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/deployment/deployment-guide/upgrad
e-guide/deployment.html

We use this msi in a software installation group policy to push it to
machines that need it. The second link also gives instructions for creating
an .mst transform file with Orca which we have not gotten around to yet, we
just use the .msi file.

Subject: [Micronet] Kronos updates

Hi Micronet,

I haven't seen anyone else ask about this. I just tried to do my timesheet
using Kronos and, again, the system wants me to install a Java
component/upgrade (JRE 1.5.0). This is not the first time this has
happened. Everytime it does, we have to upgrade everyone's workstation
which is a lot of work for our tech staff. How do other departments deal
with this? I can't believe everyone on campus is having to do the same
thing!
