As far as we have noted from java 18 update 20 onwards the installation defaults to a static installation.

We have tried to specify the STATIC=0 from command line option and using INSTALLCFG option with configuration file. In both cases installation is static:

JDK 8u20 Update Release Notes

JRE Installation Directory

Starting with JDK 8u20 release, the JRE will be installed in a version specific directory. For example:

C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_20

The version specific directory naming is intentional and it does not indicate that the JRE install is static.

As with the earlier releases, static JRE install is performed only if STATIC=1 option is passed (via command line or config file) by the user.
