Getting 404 from Oracle server about choco-packages

[littlefyr]

Pull Request #26 should have the fix for this.

In the meantime I'm 'installing' it with the following powershell:

$webclient = New-Object System.Net.WebClient
$webclient.Headers.Add([System.Net.HttpRequestHeader]::Cookie, "oraclelicense=a");
$webclient.DownloadFile("http://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/8u162-b12/0da788060d494f5095bf8624735fa2f1/server-jre-8u162-windows-x64.tar.gz", "c:\windows\temp\server-jre-windows-x64.tar.gz")
$webclient.Dispose()
Invoke-Expression "cmd /c C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\bin\7za.exe x -oc:\windows\temp c:\windows\temp\server-jre-windows-x64.tar.gz -r"
Invoke-Expression "cmd /c C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\bin\7za.exe x -oc:\ c:\windows\temp\server-jre-windows-x64.tar -r"
[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable( "JAVA_HOME", "c:\jdk1.8.0_162\jre\bin", [System.EnvironmentVariableTarget]::Machine )

Any movement on this @rgra ?

Is the issue Oracle simply deletes older versions?

@JorritSalverda does 7za.exe come with chocolately because i ran your script and i got 'C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\bin\7za.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

Oracle doesn't actually delete the older versions they simply move them behind a login to where they are only accessible via the Oracle Developer pages to download due to the security issues. There is a script called jdk wrapper written in Bash that can use that login information to download older versions, but this package doesn't take advantage of that.

@jchannon 7za comes with chocolatey and is probably only accessible within the Chocolatey PATH eg C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\bin\ or wherever it is.

Oh yes, I missed this line at the start:

cinst 7zip.portable --yes --accept-license --version=16.04
