Add/Remove Question

[Bill]

MY OS - Windows XP - SP2

I have an entry in the Add/Remove panel - "J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0
Update 1" - I can't get rid of it. The Change/Remove button is not there.

I uninstalled Java, I also had the Update 5 entry, the Update 1 entry
remains.

How do I get rid of it?

TIA,

Bill

I forgot to mention - I cannot find the key listed in regedit either

Hi, Bill:

Open Start, Run, type this command (copy&paste it, better), click OK and
follow the uninstallation wizard:

msiexec /x {3248F0A8-6813-11D6-A77B-00B0D0150010}

Dan,

I did as you said - got this ''caution'' message

"You already have this version of the JRE installed. Please uninstall the
product through your add/remove
programs utility before reinstalling."

I got this same message when I tried to remove the program originally from
add/remove. I went to regedit, found the key (in the uninstall folder) and
removed it - now no change/remove button but a 117MB indication.

Thanks for the reply.

Bill

Add/Remove Programs is listing that Java update because it is probably
referenced in some subkey of
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Installer\Products registry key. Delete
it from there and the Add/Remove Programs entry should disappear.

Maybe if you reinstall the latest version of Java and proceed with the
uninstallation again, it could be completely removed.

I'll give it a shot, thanks

Dan,

I gave it a shot - worked perfectly - no more entry
Whatever they are paying you here, I say double it<G>
