JRE Automatic Installation not choosing 64bit?

I am creating a NSIS installer for a desktop application.
I am making use of this great sample (JREDyna_Inetc.nsh) to detect if the host already has a JRE of at least v1.6, and if not, the installer goes off and runs a web-installer to get a JRE and install it before proceeding.

This is a 64bit specific installer (earlier step checks for this and aborts if its a 32bit machine).

The detection works fine, but it appears to download a 32bit JRE.

The URL for the web installer is defined as:

!define JRE_URL "http://javadl.sun.com/webapps/download/AutoDL?BundleId=52252"

Is it the URL that I need to change or perhaps there is an issue with this separate plugin that I am using?

Solution

  • Go here - http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp

    In chrome, hover over links and it gives you the BundleID in the bottom right. For me at the time of writing this URL works:

    http://javadl.sun.com/webapps/download/AutoDL?BundleId=60338
