Deleted progam from list of programs Windows Uninstaller recognize

I was troubleshooting & a window popped up that asked if I wanted to delete
any programs that use Windows Uninstaller. Thinking that this would help me
with a problem I was having with Java, I deleted Java from the list of
programs that Uninstaller recognizes.

That did not solve my problem with Java & I would like to "undo" the deletion.

I have Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition Version 2002 Service Pack 2.

Would appreciate any advice.

Thanks _

Cala,

What were you troubleshooting as you never mentioned it?

You can either do a system restore, which I don't recommend or download the
latest Java Runtime Environment (JRE) here:

Sorry - Java was deleted from the list of programs under Windows Installer
Cleanup not "Uninstaller".

Java is not working correctly so I am trying to uninstall it. I can't
uninstall it as I deleted it from the list of programs, so Java no longer
appears on the "Add or Remove Programs" in Control Panel. However, going to
the Java website confirms that it's on my system

So, I thought I needed to add it back to the list for Installer Cleanup but
do not know how to do it.

Thank you for any help -

If you go to Windows>installer directory, one by one hold the cursor
over the xxxx.msi files. One of them will be Java, double click that and
install/repair. That should bring up the uninstall entry you are looking
for. Remove Java and re-instal 1.6.02.
