Greetings!

Wishing to force Java JRE updates on my users (they sort-of update 
automatically, but the user must click the icon to get the update to run), 
I've been looking up how to get an .MSI file for the latest JRE version.

Unfortunately, the Java web site does not seem to work...

http://www.java.com/en/download/help/msi_install.xml

This tells you to download and run the .EXE file.  It then says where the 
.MSI has been extracted.  This much is true.  However, if I finish the 
install, then the .MSI file gets deleted.  If I abort the process, the 
.MSI files gets deleted.  If I pause the process, then the .MSI file is 
either "locked" so it can't be copied elsewhere, or if it copies it 
becomes non-functional.

The referenced web site has a "Get Help Now!" button.  That brings one to 
a pay-to-play chat session, "Most problems cost about $50 to fix." Nice...

Anyway, the version to which we currently wish to force our systems is 
Java 6 Update 23.  Any successful methods to extract the .MSI for that 
version?

Thanks!
