Java 6/7 to Java 8 Migration Update

In today’s catalog release, we are happy to announce new migration updates for Java Runtime Environment.

Having SCUP updates to migrate Java 6 to Java 8 and Java 7 to Java 8 has been something many customers have requested!

We released 4 updates in the 8/20/16 catalog update:

Java 7 to Java 8 Migration
These updates will completely uninstall all versions of Java 6 or Java 7 while installing Java 8 update 60.

Update 2/4/16: We have expired the 4 migration updates listed above. We replaced these updates with the two updates shown below.

Java SCUP Migration

Changes in these new migration updates:

  • There is now a single update to migrate Java 6 and Java 7 to Java 8
  • The migration has been updated to install Java 8 Update 71 instead of Java 8 Update 60
  • The update will now detect and uninstall Java 7 Update 80

Note: The /checkforconflicts /kill /keepshortcuts and /dontdisableupdates switches from our Java Wrapper Script https://patchmypc.com/java-wrapper-script-version-5 can also apply to these migration updates.
