Here is the command line for installing in silent mode:
<jre>.exe /s /v"/qn [ADDLOCAL=jrecore[,extra][,other_US] | ALL] [IEXPLORER=1] [NETSCAPE6=1] [MOZILLA=1] [INSTALLDIR=<drive>:\<install_path>][REBOOT=Suppress]"
where
<jre>.exe is the single executable installer for the Java
Runtime Environment (JRE); ADDLOCAL, if used, is either jrecore[,extra][,other_US]
or ALL; IEXPLORER=1, if used, indicates that the Plug-in
should be registered with the Internet Explorer browser; NETSCAPE6=1,
if used, indicates that the Plug-in should be registered with Netscape 6 or
later browsers; MOZILLA=1 indicates that the Plug-in should be
registered with Mozilla 1.1 and later browsers; INSTALLDIR, if
used, specifies the drive and path of the installation; and REBOOT=Suppress,
if used, indicates that if locked files are encountered the computer should
not be rebooted.
If ADDLOCAL=jrecore[,extra][,other_US] is used,
jrecoreindicates the core of the JRE will be installed;
extra(optional) indicates additional Fonts, Colors, and Soundbank will be installed;
other(optional) indicates locale-specific.jarfiles will be installed.
If ADDLOCAL=ALL is used, then all the features will be installed.
If ADDLOCAL is not used, then only the recommended features will
be installed: jrecore will be installed; extra will
not be installed; other will be installed only if l10n support,
other than English, is installed.
If INSTALLDIR is not specified, the installation will go into
C:\Program Files\java\j2re1.4.2 (default location).

Suppose the JRE installer is j2re-1_4_2-bin-b18-windows-i586-05_mar_2003.exe;
you want to install the JRE core and additional Fonts, Colors and Soundbank;
and you want to register the Plug-in with Netscape 7 and Mozilla 1.3. Then the
command would be:
j2re-1_4_2-bin-b18-windows-i586-05_mar_2003.exe /s /v"/qn ADDLOCAL=jrecore,extra NETSCAPE=1 MOZILLA=1"
Or suppose you want all features to be installed; you only want to register
the Plug-in with Internet Explorer; and you want the installation on the D
drive at java\jre. Then the command line could be simply:
j2re-1_4_2-bin-b18-windows-i586-05_mar_2003.exe /s /v"/qn ADDLOCAL=ALL IEXPLORER=1 INSTALLDIR=D:\java\jre"
You may find it convenient to use the "start /w" command, as that
will cause MS-DOS to wait until the install is complete. For example:
start /w j2re-1_4_2-bin-b18-windows-i586-05_mar_2003.exe /s /v"/qn ADDLOCAL=ALL IEXPLORER=1 INSTALLDIR=D:\java\jre"
This is the command line for uninstalling in silent mode:
<jre>.exe /s /v"/qn [REBOOT=Suppress]" /x
where <jre>.exe is the single executable installer for the
JRE and REBOOT=Suppress, if used, indicates that if locked files
are encountered the computer should not be rebooted.
j2re-1_4_2-bin-b18-windows-i586-05_mar_2003.exe /s /v"/qn REBOOT=Suppress" /x
If you want to create a log file describing the installation, add /L
C:\<path>setup.log to the command. Note that this comes within
the quote marks (""). For example:
j2re-1_4_2-bin-b18-windows-i586-05_mar_2003.exe /s/v"/qn
ADDLOCAL=ALL /L C:\<path>setup.log"
This will cause the log to be written to the setup.log file.
To verify if a silent installation succeeded, scroll to the end of the log file.
