Nakul is going to find out from Dev/Victor what led to this regression. I plan to put this into cReq shortly (we're working out the justification text at this time).

Ok - now I can reproduce this problem. After disconnecting the network before installation it really fails with the error about relationship between workstation and the primary domain failed. It happens because java installer cannot find group ALL APPLICATION PACKAGES for localized versions, because the group name is localized, and the current implementation uses just string name for accessing to it, so this approach does not work for localizations. To fix it, we can use SID instead of string name.

Steps to reproduce the problem as shared by a user: 1. If you have all that is known here, Norwegian/Russian/German or any other localized Windows 8/8.1 and joined to a domain. 2. Then download Java 7 Update 55 or any later version, exe or msi. 3.Then disconnect the network before installation. Then you will get this error every time.

I was not able to reproduce it. Tried on Windows 8 Russian and Windows 8.1 German for 7u65/8u11. For all cases (log in under domain user account and launch .exe file; create group policy for installing jre (assign package) from .msi; install published package from distribution point) it installs without problems. Maybe this is a configuration problem. As I cannot reproduce it using the provided steps, I'm resolving it as Incomplete for now.

Victor is more familiar with RegDeploy API, reassigning to Victor.

This looks to be an issue in RegDeploy API.
