I have a self service policy that i'm testing to install IBM SPSS 24. I'm using the .bin file and the installer.properties file to set install options. The silent install needs java installed. The policy installs both Java and the SPSS 24.
The policy runs, installs Java re 8u91 first and then SPSS 24, I keep getting prompted that Java needs to be installed - IT IS installed !!
it says - to use the "java" command-line tool you need to install a JDK click "More Info ..." to visit the Java Development Kit download website.
I click More Info and it sends me to the JRE-8u91
anybody successfully install SPSS 24 and get it licensed at the same time ?
We have a composer created policy but the first time SPSS 24 gets launched, we are prompted to enter the license key ?
where is the license key info located ?
Solved! Go to Solution.

I could be wrong but I believe it requires the Java Legacy SE 6 Runtime... https://support.apple.com/kb/DL1572?locale=en_US. If you have that run prior to your SPSS installer then I think you should be fine.
I just drop the install files in a temporary location (including the installer.properties with auth code) and then execute the install. I push out updates to the auth code through a separate script that runs via policy.

@koszyczj that is what i'm doing. I zip up the .bin and .properties file, put it in /private/tmp, build a .pkg and then have a postinstall script unzip and run the required command
first the java.pkg installs then the spss installs
./spss_statistics_installer.bin -f "installer.properties"
i get prompted for Java, so SpSS never gets installed, but Java 8u91 does.

@koszyczj using the Java Legacy SE 6 Runtime... https://support.apple.com/kb/DL1572?locale=en_US might have worked.
testing on additional computers to verify.
the only thing is, I get a prompt for allow/deny incoming connections
is it possible to have this prompt pre-answered ?
