I'm being driven slowly mad by trying to deploy Java 1.8 Update 74 x86 and turn off the prompts that say it's out of date. There are so many conflicting articles online and on here - probably because Oracle keep moving the goalposts as to what works. For example, the MSI you can get out of your Local AppData folder is not supported for enterprise install. It also seems they keep removing supported parameter names from the deployment.properties. Here is what I use, have never seen a update message. I struggled with this same issue on a past version of Java.
The deployment.config and deployment.properties files are necessary however I also had to add a system environment variable through group policy which finally suppressed the 'out of date' warning. What happened after that was the warning was displayed once. Then once the user selected the box to 'not show this message again' the message didn't come back. Without the environment variable the warning came up every time they clicked on a function within the web app.

You could check the box to 'not show this again' and would be fine for that session but the next time you logged in the warning came back and it resulted in dozens of help desk calls a week just for that prompt. I don't know if this applies for your version of java but it saved me a lot of trouble.Add a system environment variable called:deployment.expiration.check.enabledValue=falseor run this commandsetx deployment.expiration.check.enabled false /m.
