[Ron H]

Hi Pat, A little while back i think it was you who provided a link that removed
previous versions of Java before you installed the latest version,l if it
was
could you possible bring it up again ? I can't seem to find that link in
that
post. Ron

Hi Ron,

I don't think I know of such a thing, or I posted anything like that.

All you have to do is open Control Panel | Add/Remove Programs, then
remove (uninstall) everything under Java. If you have the latest version
already installed, keep that one, of course.

Regards,
Pat

Java Housekeeping
Open an Internet Explorer (only) window and go to
http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp
Download Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6 Update 4

select Windows Offline Installation > SAVE it to your desktop, do not RUN
it.

When the download is complete, close all browser windows and double-click on
the saved file to install the update. Be patient: It may take five (5)
minutes or more for the installation to complete.

Delete the downloaded installation file after completing the above procedure
and reboot if not prompted to do so.

Open Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs:


Uninstall anything that says Sun Java, Java JRE, or similar except Java TM 6
Update 4 which you just installed.

Close Add/Remove Programs.


In Windows Explorer, navigate to C:\Program Files\Java <=this folder. Delete
any subfolders except the subfolder jre1.6.0_04 which was just created by
the installation above.

Do NOT delete C:\Program Files\JavaVM <=this folder, if found!

Joan, Thank you i did pass your information on to a post in
Application Compatibility since he found a few older versions of Java
still installed. And that's all i have to offer, Thanks
BTW :I read that small book of emotions that you answered a while
back in 2005, it was a post that had 286 replies. A good read. Ron
