- Java Update mechanism – till off {0}JAVAUPDATE till 0JU till 0

Answer

You should run this custom action after InstallFinalise, as changes are not made to the system until InstallFinalize is reached (In a simplistic sense - I won't bore you with the details).  The other thing to check is whether the variable %PROGRAMDATA% is resolved correctly. You may need to hard code this value.
