Cannot uninstall Java JRE 1.7 32bits

For some reason my firefox browser stopped detecting java and now I can't run anything with java on it because it says that it's not installed, so I went to add/remove programs and tried to uninstall java but it just won't get removed.
http://rcupload.com/images/IDSnu.png
So when I try to uninstall it (Java(TM) 7 Update 5) a little window appears with a progress bar, after it completes it disappears but Java is still there..
this is the window that appears: http://rcupload.com/images/HLUwZ.png
Here's what I tried to do:
1) Use CCleaner to uninstall it: - I choose the program, press uninstall and it disappears, but when I refresh the list it will still be there. I also tried using the "remove entry" button in CCleaner and i just get a message saying "cannot delete msi installer'.
2) I tried using JavaRA: - I ran it as administrator, clicked "remove older versions", and I got the message that Java JDK 1.7 was uninstalled and all the files, but now I see that there is no folder for it at "C:\program files (x86)\Java\" (there was one inside before, called something like jre-7) and the icon in the installed programs appears like a white box instead of looking the like the java logo.
3) I tried downloading java and installing it: - I run it, it downloads and it gets to a screen where it asks me if I want to install a toolbar, I click next and I get this message: http://rcupload.com/images/xiCIu.png
I also tried changing the destination folder. same result.
-- Resumed: I need to get rid of Java(TM) 7 Update 5 but the uninstaller seems not to work and files are missing.
Any help will be appreciated!
Thanks.

Hi - using the Microsoft fix-it tool available here, running as administrator, did the trick for me: http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall
I selected the options that allowed me to manually choose which program to uninstall...then I was able to re-install java from the Oracle Java 7 download/installer.
Good luck!

Anyway to uninstall java jre using the windows xp command line

Hi,
Is there anyway I can uninstall Java JRE 1.6_6 by using the xp cmd.
I need to do this for my team project where ive made a custom installer that installs a JRE and my java application. I then also need to make an uninstaller which removes my application (ive done that), and also removes the JRE. I know you can do this from the control panel but I need to uninstall both at the same time in one simple interface.
Im using batch scripts to do this, as the installer package im using is useless.
Thanks
Shazan

You could try uninstalling via the silent approach. The original jre install bundle is necessary.
See http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/plugin/developer_guide/silent.html (this is 1.4.2 specific, but it should work for 6 also)
<jre>.exe /s /v "/qn [REBOOT=Suppress]" /x
Looks like the command you'll need.
How much has your custom installer modified the java installer ? I don't think you're allowed modify the jre bundle in any way.

How to uninstall Java (JRE MSI) while keeping Internet Explorer open?

I have a situation where I need to have the ability to uninstall Java (currently JRE 1.7 Update 75, but could really be any version in the future). We are using the JRE MSI. I know how to uninstall it silently just fine, but the gotcha problem comes in that we have thousands of computers and some of them may have IE running during the uninstall.
Now normally I would just use taskkill.exe to terminate IE ahead of time then run Java uninstall. However, we are being told for the uninstall, this isn't an option even if we notify the customers about IE closing. So I'm looking for a command line way to uninstall Java, but allow it to be successfully uninstalled if IE is running (If a reboot is required after the fact, that is fine).
I have tried several things without success already:
MSIRESTARTMANAGERCONTROL=Enable (And Disable)
IEOPEN=1
IERESTART=1
In every case, I keep getting a Java Window that reads the below:
If I choose Later, then it will continue upon the next restart of the computer, which would be fine, except there doesn't seem to be a way to choose this option using the command line or a property??
I would be even be happy to trick Java into thinking it isn't being used currently even if the browser is open, but I can't seem to figure out how Java knows it is being used or not currently used.
(FYI, if you install Java while IE is running that is fine, and if you don't close IE after the fact then run the uninstall command right after, it uninstalls fine even though IE is running. I believe that is the case because the plug-in didn't fully get activated in IE until a close and reopen).
Any ideas on how this can be accomplished? Thanks.

I cannot use java jre in lion, I cannot use java jre in lion

Hi I need to use an online banking service which requires Java - I have ensured that my Java is fully up to dat and even installed the developers version but I cannot access the online banking service.
I am using Lion - any ideas?

Uninstall any Java you have now and install this
https://support.apple.com/kb/DL1421
Reboot and see if that works, it could be your site isn't compatible with Lion/Safari yet.
You can use Firefox or even Chrome web browers, see if those work.

After installing Java Console 6.0.25, I cannot uninstall Java Console 6.0.24

I am running XP SP3 with Firefox 4.0.1
I just installed Java Console 6.0.25 and noticed that Java Console 6.0.24 was not uninstalled. It remains listed in my add-ons as being disabled. There is no button to uninstall it.
I checked XP's Add/Remove programs and Java Console 6.0.24 is not listed.

Java JRE Manual Uninstall???

Java 1.6u7 was installed on my Windows XP machine, but became corrupted. I downloaded the new JRE 1.6u10 (slim vers.) and attempted to install. The install program informed me JRE was already installed, would I like to reinstall? When I click "yes" then I get a message, that that option is only available for installed programs...then the install program loops, asking again if I would like to reinstall...then quits. Same result exactly with the Full install (15mb) version. No matter what I do, I get the same loopy message..."That program is installed [no it is not, anymore] Do you want to reinstall?" [yes] "Operation is only available for installed programs" Loop, loop (twice).
I've spent a lot of time searching for any help on a manual uninstall of Java through google, all to no avail. No one seems to have a definitive method to MANUALLY fully remove the old Java, in order to successfully install the new.
YES, I've uninstalled it through Add/Remove.
YES, I've tried the control panel Java link (it's now gone)
YES I've used the Windows Install cleanup utility (Java is no longer there).
YES I've used regedit and eliminated everything with "Java" in it. Yes, I've repeatedly searched both filenames, and within files and deleted files with JAVA in them. Yet EVERY SINGLE TIME I try to install, the very same loopy message appears, not allowing me to install.
All I'd like to do, is to successfully do a new install--yet the install program will not allow it.

I am the author of the original plea, SIMPLY LOOKING for a MANUAL UNINSTALL procedure for a corrupted Java JRE install. (Sun's system somehow won't allow me to login under my origianal registration, so here I am again.)
Please NOTE: YES, I have already used the Windows install clean-up utility (several times), as described in the original post. Sun and Java products are not found by the Windows install clean-up utility.
The installer is the problem....it will not install, unless Java is uninstalled first, and the uninstall won't work unless it is installed. Loop, loop, loop....
I HAVE CORRUPTED INSTALL FILES SOMEWHERE, AND NO STANDARD/FAQ AUTOMATED METHOD WORKS.
All I need to know is: HOW DO I MANUALLY UNINSTALL JAVA JRE???

How to uninstall java plugin without removing JRE completely

how to uninstall java plugin without removing JRE completely.
Hope someonce can help, all the documentation ive seen till now shows how to uninstall the Java plugin by completely removing the JRE.
Also if you install JRE 1.4.1_01 and do not choose to install the browser plugin on the browers prompted ... does it not install the plugin?

In IE
Tools -> Internet Options -> Settings -> View Objects
Delete the ActiveX control for the Java Plugin
This removes the ActiveX control (plug-in) from the browser but doesn't delete the JRE.

Cannot launch Java Report Panel

I would like to use the 'Advanced' Web Intelligence editor.
Unfortunately, when I attempt to edit a WI report, I get a message that reads 'This software has already been installed on your computer. Would you like to reinstall it?'
If I allow the installation, Java 6, Update 3 is downloaded and installed. I restart the browser. Attempting to edit the WI report generates the installation message.
If I don't allow the installation, I get an error that reads 'Cannot launch Java Report Panel, please make sure you have installed a Java virtual machine.'.
It never gets out of this installation loop.
At one point, the Advance editor worked, then something changed.
The Java Control Panel indicates that I have JRE versions 1.6.0_03 and 1.6.0._20 installed (in the Java Applet Runtime Settings). In addition, versions 1.4.2_04, 1.4.2_07, 1.4.2_12, and 1.6.0_03 are listed in the JNLP Runtime settings.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
Craig Buchanan

I am having the same problem and I don't see an answer here. I have uninstalled every instance of java and restarted my computer, then installed the one suggested here: Cannot launch Java Report Panel, please make sure you have installed a Java virtual machine. (the Java Virtual Machine was a link). Restarted again, tried again, same error. On the sun page, I tested my java installation and it works fine. I have checked that java is enabled in both IE and Firefox and I still get this error in either browser. I am using Windows XP.
Upon comparing my computer with my coworker's java configurations, we found that she has a certificate called "Business Objects America" and I don't have that. Could that be the problem, and if so, where can I get that certificate? There was no active X question as I would have expected to see asking to run active X or not. I can't find any certificate downloads on your site at all.
Please advise ASAP because I need to use this Web Intelligence Reporting and I cannot get in.
Thank you.

I cannot reinstall java

I've installed jdk - cannot remmember version..-.
And i found it doesn't work, so installed jre.
It also doesn't work.
I opened "add/remove program", and search jdk and jre. but there is not.
So I delete jdk and jre folders. And I ran registry cleaner.
And I found javarar by googling, and tried to uninstall java and jdk.
After cleaning registry, I tried to inttall jre-6u10-windows-x64.
But I met "This software has already been installed on your computer. Would you like to reinstall it?".
I pressed "Yes". Then I met "Internal Error 2753. regutils.dll".
How can I reinstall "jre-6u10-windows-x64"?

Go to start menu <- settings <- control panel then open up the java icon and under one of the tabs should be some text for what version you are using and theres a button for an upgrade.. Try clicking that button for the upgrade.

Firefox is blocking Java even though I had the updated version. Now I can't update or uninstall Java.

On 4/2/12 Firefox informed me that Java had serious issues with security and I should let them block it, so I did. Later I found I couldn't play Pogo anymore so I tried to enable Java but it still wouldn't work. My Java is up to date, 6.0.290.11. Now I cannot update Java, error 1606, nor can I uninstall Java from my computer, same error cannot access location, in order to re-install. Since I was using the most updated version, my Java should not have been blocked. Anyone else have this problem? I am stuck and can't update or re-install or anything.

I have the latest version and today it blocked it

Java JRE not working on any PC

Hello!
I have a customer, where none of the PC's og the servers can use Java JRE applications on the internet.
I have checked and double checked all settings in the Java Control Panel and Checked it is enabled for IE. I have tried Firefox and Opera too. I have uninstalled and installed several older versions, without any luck...
Now im running on the latest 1.6.0.02.
Im running behind a SBS 2003, without the ISA enabled. All PC's are using the router directly as default gateway (so not running through the SBS server). Im not using any Proxy, but i have tried that as well.
Java control Panel is set to use Default browser settings.
I have no idea what can cause this, and maybe im not filling in enough information for you, so please ask questions and ill answer as good as i can.
Here is the log when i try to test the Java on internet Java applications.

I have the feeling this has something to do with java not finding the java application it is trying to run? Does this make any sense? BTW. The Java Control Panel is showing in the taskbar next to the clock when i enter a Java site so its launching Java, but nothing happens.
Is there any simple java application i can use to test locally? From my C: drive or something.
I do not know much about Java functionality so i appreciate any help.
Thanks

Hey, thanks for the answer.
I didnt have the JDK installed, just JRE so i installed JDK and could run the local applets.
The same online applet fails. I really do not know why this happens. There is nothing fancy about this customers network. They have 5 users, and a single Cisco Router for router/firewall for connecting/protecting against the internet.
There is also no outgoing firewall. Does anyone have experience with firewalls or routers blocking some part of the traffic? I just had a problem with the MTU at a nother customer.
Last time i investigated this i also concluded that there was no connection to the remote computer as you suggest, but i can not see what is blocking it.
The customer of mine is realying on Java to run for one of their applications so i can not "quit" like i did last time when the managing director couldnt play his online games hehe.
Anyone else got some tips?
Thanks

Getting the "Java path" defined in a Java JRE installation

Hallo!
I have already tried to get some help with this issue but am still unable to get the JRE operational.
What have I undertaken:
1. Uninstalled all previous platform modules
2. Removed all traces of previous plugins and registry entries
3. Re-installed latest level of Java JRE
When I now try to use the cmd.exe and input "java -version" the error message I get is that Java is unknown.
When I try to install the application for which I needed JRE, the installation hangs up with "Java not fully installed".
Is there any documentation which fully describes the process in steps an untrained user can understand?
Better still is there a tool which can monitor or test the installation to indicate where I may have gone adrift?
Any useful tips are welcome.
Kind regards, forkinpm.

hi,
Check the classpath and path settings of envoirnement variables. may be u havent changed them. The java-version command searches the java from there only.

Java JRE not working on Satellite Z830-10U

I got my Z830-10U yesterday and started setting it up. When I tried to load a few things that require Java Run Time they all failed. So I went to the Java site and ran their detector which told me that the plugin was not installed. I then went and checked and in my list of installed programs was Java Run Time.
So, assuming the factory install was not right, I downloaded the latest version of the drivers from the Java website, uninstalled Java, rebooted and installed Java again. No Joy. I again rebooted and tried reinstalling it again no luck at all (in fact I tried this several times)
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Are you aware that you may need both 64 and 32 bit versions of JRE installed on a 64bit W7 installations? Compiled Java applications will run under 32 or 64bit so does your problem relate to apps that use a browser window where the JRE version must match the browser.

Can't get Firefox to "downgrade" Java JRE version

I recently allowed the Java updater to update my Java JRE from 1.6.x to 1.7.x. However I have a critical web site that will not run the applet unless it sees a 1.6x "only" JRE. (yes, it is a dumb site) . Anyway, I removed the 1.7 version, and re-installed 1.6 but Firefox still shows the 1.7 version in my add-ons and I can't remove the references or get them to update to 1.6x.
I still can't get the web site to launch the applet that I need from FF because it thinks I am not running 1.6x. I am NOT having this problem using IE8.. it seems to have downgraded just fine.

You can see the installed plugins that are enabled on the about:plugins page.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/about%3Aplugins
You can set the plugin.expose_full_path pref to true on the about:config page to see the full path of plugins on the about:plugins page.<br />
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
It is best not to leave that pref set to true as it exposes that full path to web servers, so reset that pref to false after you are done with the about:plugins page.
