Update Java

(I am from Norway and my English isn't that good - sorry)

I want to update Java on several PC-s (Win XP-pro) by sending the users an exe-file that will copy an update-file from server and run this in silent mode as PC-administrator.

The code below seems to do what I want on my PC - updating to ver 31.

Tried it on another PC with Java 6 Update 18 and 26 - 18 was left, but 26 was removed and ver 31 was installed.

What is missing - is there an uninstall-Jva - file like Flash-Player has?

Is it possible to show a progress-bar while doing the job?

Anything else wrong with my code?

; Updating Java
#include <File.au3>
Global $sUserName = "administrator"
Global $sPassword = "password"
Global $sNetwork = "domain"

; Ends Internett Explorer to avoid that Java is being used
Local $PID = ProcessExists("iexplore.exe") ; Will return the PID or 0 if the process isn't found.
While $PID
ProcessClose($PID)
$PID = ProcessExists("iexplore.exe")
WEnd

; Install current verison of Java
; Creates a temporary map on C:\
DirCreate("C:\tmp")
; Copies the install-program from server to C:\tmp
FileCopy("\\dc1\felles\lærarar\a\Java\jre-6u31-windows-i586-s.exe", "C:\tmp")
; Runs RunAsWait as administrator and installs Java in silent mode
RunAsWait($sUserName, $sNetwork, $sPassword, 4, "C:\tmp\jre-6u31-windows-i586-s.exe /s INSTALLDIR=C:\Programfiler\Java\jre6")
; Deletes the temporary installationfile on C:
DirRemove("C:\tmp", 1)
MsgBox(0, "Updating Java", "Update done")

Check this page out. I haven't tried it personally, but it looks sound.
