How can I install the Microsoft Java Virtual Machine (JVM) without having to restart the computer?

A typical JVM installation requires that you reboot your machine and alerts you to any problems the installer encountered. However, you can use the /q and /qq switches to control the reboot requirement and the reporting of any problems. To prevent the installation from rebooting the system but still have it notify you of any problems, you would add the /q switch. For example,

msjavx86 /c:”javatrig.exe /exe_install /l /q” /q:a /r:n

To prevent the installation from rebooting the system and from notifying you of problems, you would add the /qq switch. For example,

msjavx86 /c:”javatrig.exe /exe_install /l /qq” /q:a /r:n
