Uninstall all previous versions

I am looking to uninstall all previous versions of Sun Java from my network and standardise on 1_4_2_03.
previous versions include various ones between 1_2 and 1_4_2_02.
It would seem you need to uninstall each version individually, what I need is a way to uninstall all versions in one go, this would need to be able to run silently.
Has anyone come up with a way as I have been unable to find a single catch all way on the Sun web site.

Thought it would be the case. Looks like I might need to go for a folder/regkey delete and reinstall. Its anoying that Java installs to a different folder with each version rather than over writing. I am sure Sun has its reasons.

  • I have just been told by Adobe that I have to UNINSTALL ALL PREVIOUS VERSIONS OF THEIR APPLICATIONS IN ORDER TO USE THE NEW 2014 VERSIONS.

    I have just been told by Adobe that I have to UNINSTALL ALL PREVIOUS VERSIONS OF THEIR APPLICATIONS IN ORDER TO USE THE NEW 2014 VERSIONS. No software update is worth the time it will take to do that!!!!! I don't know about the rest of you but I am woefully disappointed in Adobe. I pay on time every single month SINCE CREATIVE CLOUD BECAME AVAILABLE and now they place this on me? NOT HAPPY.

    THE LATEST AND THE LAST:
    Oh, and I'm on a MAC, not a PC so how could my database be corrupted?
    Shruthi: The caps.db file is located in Library/Application Support/Adobe/caps folder
    Shruthi: Can you try uninstalling from Adobe installers.
    Susan Meredith: You folks don't understand. Most of us are very excited at the new "bells and whistles" that Adobe has introduced and in the past we've been able to QUICKLY update to the new version. We haven't had to uninstall anything to get the new. We are all working and have deadlines. This is A HARDSHIP ON ADOBE'S USERS AND THEY NEED TO FIX IT ON THAT END. Or give up some monthly fees.
    Susan Meredith: There are many ways to uninstall. I can do it through "CleanMyMac". But now I don't trust that Adobe's programs will actually download and then I'm in trouble...and out of business.

  • I Beta tested 4.0 RC1 and now can not upgrade to 4.0. Error message is need to reboot to complete prior instalation. Have removed all previous versions of Firefox, rebooted and still same error message.

    I Beta tested up to and including 4.0 RC1 without major problems. However I can not now upgrade to 4.0. Same error message time and again, "need to reboot to complete prior upgrade instalation". I rebooted several times, then tried first removing all previous versions of Firefox using both MS Add/Remove and then iolo System Mechanic, then again downloading 4.0. Even after rebooting same error message. I can not therefore install/use Firefox.

    Do a clean (re-)install:
    * Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    * Firefox 4.0: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
    * Don't remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere (not in the Firefox program folder) and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

    you can uninstall them, but do not need to uninstall them.  you should probably wait a few months to make sure all your peripherals and plugins work with the cc 2014 versions before uninstalling cc.

  • Is there a way to open a playlist in a second window in iTunes 11 - like all previous versions of iTunes could?

    Is there a way to open a playlist in a second window in iTunes 11 - like all previous versions of iTunes could?
    To build a playlist, I would open a newly created one in a separate window, then in the main widow I would roam through the full music collection adding songs to the playlist - by simple drag and drop - as I find them. But this doesn't work when I have to jump between full list view and playlist view in the same window - that kind of confuses the process. I need to be able to see the playlist I am building while I roam through the main list, using two windows to see both lists of songs at the same time. Is this no longer possible in iTunes 11?
    Using iMac 10.7.5

    Apple never officially comments on these posts, true, and I have no idea if they pay much attention to this very helpful user to user forum set-up here, but they do let you provide feedback at-( http://www.apple.com/feedback/ )-for any product concerns you may have, though they don't respond there either, which I think is understandable. I think they do consider feedback while developing updates and I expect they try to incorporate feedback concerns as they create updates and revisions. But it is probably exceedingly difficult to include all feedback concerns or please everyone all the time.
    A long time ago I was complaining to them about how the full music library view would jump to show next song playing every time a new song started and that would take my view away from wherever I had scrolled to while the last song was playing. That was annoying and they eventually fixed that issue in iTunes 11.
    I have sent apple my feedback concerns (more than once) about how it really helps to open separate windows to do playist creations and edit, revise, and manage playlists - and how that split window method is not easy to use (linked to in a previous post I made on this thread). The more people they get feedback from asking to be able to open multiple iTunes windows, then the more likely they will bring that feature back. So don't forget to provide feedback (go to feedback link provided herein).
    Hopefully it won't take them years to return the multiple window capability in a future update.

  • Firefox 6 will not allow you to paste a cookie into the addressbar like all previous versions have. I use software to replace web chat and must do this and have been able to do it in all past versions. What's the deal?

    Firefox 6 will not allow you to paste a cookie into the addressbar like all previous versions have. I use software to replace web chat and must do this and have been able to do it in all past versions. What's the deal?

    Thank you for your response.
    After searching around for any pointers to my problem, the above fixes I listed were the things that came closest to maybe addressing the issue, that I was able to locate. But since none worked, and as you pointed out, it is now clear they will only help towards viewing sent images rather than helping with inserting any images in the body of the email, which is the problem I suddenly started facing today.
    Coming to your suggestion, on opening the Write window, the Insert choice on the menu bar is indeed available. And I had already tried using that, by clicking on the '''Insert ----> Image''' option listed. That opens
    up the "Image Properties" box but using that has not resolved the matter either. It results in an image box getting inserted within the email but without the actual image itself.
    Plus, normally I am able to use the '''Paste''' function in the Edit menu or through right-click, but today the (Cut/Copy/Paste) functions have gone inactive, thereby disallowing me to use that to place an image within the email.

  • I have been able to open PDF docs using C# API Process.Start("Full_path_To_the_PDF_File") in windows 7 or windows 8 with all previous versions of Acrobat32 reader.

    I have been able to open PDF docs using C# API Process.Start("Full_path_To_the_PDF_File") in windows 7 or windows 8 with all previous versions of Acrobat32 reader.
    However, with v11.0, the same command, in Windows 8, it does not open the PDF document. I can see the Acrobat(32) started in the task manager, but the document does open. Not sure how I can troble shoot this problem. Any help would be appreciated.

    I haven't use the C# API but I imagine it is the same as C ShellExecute. Which in turn is the same thing (in essence) as double clicking in Windows Explorer.
    So... does Adobe Reader run normally on this machine?
    And does it start and open if you double click on a PDF file?

  • Integrity of my music in itunes playback stutters & skips and has in all previous versions

    curently running itunes 10.6.1.7 on desktop. But in all previous versions I had the same problem, in about half of my library of music at the beginning of songs it stutters and skips, is as best I can explain what it is. but when I play the same songs in another player such as winamp I don't get this problem, I just tried to record the situation ( problem) and upload it to youtube and post the link here, but it's not doing it at the moment. weird.. well when it does i'm going to record it and post a link to it on youtube so that'll be the best way for readers of this thread to hear what I mean, but maybe Apple already knows theirs an issue with that.

    Are all your songs etc. still in the usual folder(s) on your computer? Try holding down the Shift key in Windows when opening iTunes. In the resulting dialogue you will get the option to create a new library or navigate to an existing one. The default location for your iTunes library is in C:\Documents and Settings\Username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\ (or C:\Username\Music\iTunes\ in Vista). Look in there and see if you have more than one library file (they have the extension .itl) If you have more than one try opening them in turn, you may find your original library is still intact: How to open an alternate iTunes Library file

  • Regarding removing all previous versions of the Mocrosoft Server Speech Platform Runtime

    While I was trying to install Kinect SDK Ver. 1.8, I was asked to remove all previous versions of the Mocrosoft Server Speech Platform Runtime. 
    Regarding this, I tried to find the program but I couldn't. 
    I am working on Windows Vista. 
    Any comments and solutions would be appreciated. 
    Thanks, 

    Hi Park,
    I agree with Martin, please ask Vista Forum for help so that you can get more professional suggestions. For your convenience:

    However I would like to share some information for you.
    Based on my research on Kinect SDK Ver. 1.8, the supported OS as below:
    Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows Embedded Standard 7
    Maybe this is the root reason that why cannot install Kinect SDK Ver. 1.8 on Vista.

  • Removing all previous versions of IronPort

    I have been tasked with automating the install of IronPort . It has come to my attention that many different versions of IronPort are already installed (going back to version1.x). Can anyone confirm if the current 7.x installer will recognize those very early versions and uninstall them, or failing that, if there is any kind of removal tool that will?
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Hello Mike,
    the answer can be found in the release notes for the plugin:
    To install the Cisco IronPort Email Security Plug-in, you need to uninstall any previous versions of Cisco IronPort Email security plug-ins that you may have installed. This includes:
    •    Any previous version of the Cisco IronPort Email Security Plug-in •    Any previous version of the Reporting Plug-in (also called the Complaint
    Plug-in)
    •    Any previous version of the Encryption Plug-ins (Desktop Encyrpt or Desktop Flag)
    BTW, last version before the current Cisco Plugin (version 7.x), was 1.8, this big jump in versioning is caused because we combined a number of different appliacation (spam, encryption) into a single plugin. Also it was always nessesary to remove the previous version of a plugin before installing a new one, so this is why you'd only find one installed instance on an user's PC.
    Hope that helps,
    Andreas

  • 2014 update did not uninstall the previous versions

    When I got the 2014 updates, none of the installs deleted the previous version.   In addition people are complaining that if you uninstall the previous version by hand, then the new version fails to work correctly.  What Adobe has done here is very confusing, and I would like a better explanation than I'm seeing.
