uninstall problems Java VM

Hi,

After the last problems I tried to uninstall the Microsoft Java but this cannot be done because the uninstall info is missing. That is the error MSG.

I tried to install the latest java version but this will not complete either. The error msg here is about unable to retrieve info from the target directory <?>

Q: how can I safely and totally remove the M$ Java and install the Java virtual <whatever> java on my system?
I run WIN XP pro with all patches installed.

I tried all things I could do from the FAQ and Helpfiles at the Java site www.java.com

I'm totally flabbergasted why this won't install, any ideas?

Regards

Frans

 

Hi Ronjor and thanks for your reply

Unfortunatly java is still not able to install itself and my java capebilities are now ZERO.

The same errormsg as above persists

What to do next?

Frans

 

Thanks but I will only go that path as a last resort.

I'll await the reaction of www.java.com's helpdesk

This is the second time this happens to me, I hope i can figure this out soon!

Regards

Frans

 

Perhaps I should tell that there is n old setup (probably corrupt somehow) of 0.29 mb wich i cannot remove, nowhere.
Perhaps fist a tip on how to remove this junk?

Frans

 

The problem is an old JAVA (Sun's ?) setup version V1.3.1_09 which I cannot delete. The size is 0.39
Not possible to delete from the Software screen of windows

How can I achieve that?

Anybody?

Frans

ps
The wanadoo link was also good but did not help because of the fact that it's a sun's Java software problem and NOT M$'s

 

This problem still exists. An old version is corrupt en is still on the HD. software uninstall is not working because files are not there to use an uninstall.

Reg-clean keeps 'cleaning' over and over again, now over 20 times, no luck.

Any one ideas on how to remove this problem?

Thanks

Frans
