How to surpress JRE's phone home behavior?

We have a small in-house java application whose installation we would like to automate. We are presently using WinZIP program to create an executeable that automatically runs a bat or cmd file (we are using windows).

This bat file contains a line to run

j2re-1_4_2_05-windows-i586-p.exe

Which installs java quite nicely.

However, the resulting java installation periodically "phones home" to java.com to check for new updates and notify the user accordingly. Can this "phone home" behavior be surpressed?

Thanks,

Siegfried
