Deleting Java SE Runtime Environ Updates

I have a laptop quickly running out of disk space, can you tell me if I can delete any of these huge updates through WIndows Add or Delete Programs?
Java SE RUntime Environment 6 Update 1
Java 2 RUntime Environment, SE v 1.4.2_03
Java SE Runtime Environment 5.0 update 6
Java SE Runtime Environment 5.0 update 3
Java SE Runtime Environment 5.0 update 10
Each is over 100MB and I'm wondering if only the Highest version and highest update number are necessary
Thanks

  • Deleting past Runtime  Environment Updates

    Hello all. I'm trying to clean up some files on my computer and I've noticed while running the Add or Remove Programs feature of Windows XP that there are several Java Runtime Environment Update modules, numbered 4, 6, 9, and 10. I've also noticed that they are very large, generally over 100MB. Would I cause any major problems if I uninstalled everything exept 10, the most recent? Do I need to have all of them on my machine?
    Thanks,
    Neal Thompson

    You should be fine if you uninstall everything except the latest update (10 in your case). The updates are independent, so you don't need all of them.

  • Removing Java 2 Runtime Environment, SE v1.4.2_04

    I'm having problems removing this from my pc. I tried using the Add/Remove Programs and get an error message. Basically it ells me that "The file 'C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Application Data\etc.......... is not a valid installation package for the product Java 2 Runtime Environment SE v1.4.2_04 etc.......... etc........
    However when I do a browse to that location I do see the .msi package it is looking for. I tried to reinstall the package but cannot because it tells me I already have a version installed. How can I remove this? I'm willing to go as far as doing it manually. Thanks.

    The security enhancements are documented at http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/ReleaseNotes.html#150_06
    Changes in 1.5.0_06
    Prior to this update [1.5.0_06], an applet or [Java Web Start] application could specify the version of the JRE on which it would run. This has changed. All applets are executed with the latest JRE version. Unsigned Java Web Start applications that specify a version other than the latest trigger a warning, requiring explicit user permission before the application will run. Signed Java Web start applications are not affected.
    In other words, only Applets and unsigned Java Web Start applications are affected by the security enhancements. Standalone applications can select any JRE they want, even if it is the outdated 1.4.2_13.

    Consider going to a Windows forum
    (or better yet, to Microsoft's web site or to a local book store)
    and learning about Vista's "User Account Control".
    At least do a Google search on it.

  • J2SE Runtime Environment Updates

    Is it okay to remove all of the updates that occurred before the latest release? I have updates through 5, and want to uninstall the first 4.

    Thanks. I also have a question about two other packages. I have the Java 2 SDK , SE 1.4.2_06, and the Java 2 Runtime Environment SE 1.4.2_06. I should leave the SDK alone, but uninstall the Java 2 Runtime Environment SE 1.4.2_06? These are in addition to the J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0, Update 7. Since I develop programs, I suppose I should leave the SDK untouched.
    EDIT: Oh, I forgot, I have a fourth package (J2SE Development KIt 5.0 Update 5)

  • "Error while registering the Java 2 Runtime Environment registry keys"

    "Error while registering the Java 2 Runtime Environment registry keys"
    I am getting the above error when trying to install the 1.3 JRE (installed with the 1.3 plug in which I need). As part of my development I have been installing and uninstalling the JRE multiple times. Then, I got the above error when trying to install it, and now it appears to be installed but I cannot uninstall it. When I try to uninstall it, it just remains, and when I try to install it again I get the above error. I have tried cleaning up all javasoft registry entries, but it doesnt seem to have helped. Can anyone help me either completely uninstall the JRE so I can do a clean install or help me get rid of the error above when I install. Is there some registry entries I should be looking at? Anything else? this is quite urgent as I need to test my applet with the plugin installed and not installed - and I currently cant uninstall it. Any ideas?
    Thanks for your help
    Aaron

    I am getting this same error message when trying to upgrade from 1.3.1_03 to 1.3.1_19.
    I have multiple versions of jre's and jdks on my machine.
    Anyone else seen this problem or know how to resolve it.

  • Java SE Runtime Environment 5.0u22 will not install on Windows 98SE

    Hi,
    I know, its no longer supported.
    As I understand, Java SE Runtime Environment 5.0u22 is the last SE Runtime that works with Windows 98SE and, if so, I need to install on a Windows 98SE computer.
    This Windows 98SE machine currently has Java 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition 5.0 for Windows installed on it.
    Downloaded jre-1_5_0_22-windows-i586-p.exe (offline installer version) from Sun, and when I click on this file it invokes my 56K dialer - once online, nothing happens, no HDD activity, no modem lights, nothing - and I do not get any error messages.
    If I choose to cancel the dialer, again, nothing happens, no HDD activity, no modem lights, nothing - and I do not get any error messages.
    I checked my MSI.DLL file and it is version 2.0.2600.2 - which is consistent with the installation requirements detailed here . . . http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/install-windows-139179.html#installer2.0
    I ran a few Googles, but did not find any help.
    A few words of encouragement and suggestions of how to accomplish this install are sincerely appreciated.
    Many thanks,
    CurlySue

    Well, its been 10 days and no replies.
    Bummer.
    Guess there are no longer any JSE 5.0 experts online.
    Pity.

  • Java 2 runtime Environment setup failed with a return code of -1

    Hi!
    I have tried to install sdk 1_3_1_01 on Windows 2000 with ServicePack 2 and the error "Java 2 runtime Environment setup failed with a return code of -1" occured. As I saw, a lot of people has the problem but couldn't find a solution on this page!
    Please help !

    I've installed 1.3.1_01 on both W2K Workstation and Server, no problem. There's a bug report, but no workaround or solution.

  • Eclipse give following error :could not find Java 2 runtime environment

    When I try to start eclipse it is giving me following error could not find Java 2 runtime environment.It was working fine untill I installed a new verson of eclipse although I am not whethar that is the source of problem.
    When i give java -version command in command prompt it shows
    Registry key 'Software\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment\CurrentVersion'
    has value '1.4', but '1.6' is required.
    Error: could not find java.dll
    Error: could not find Java 2 Runtime Environment.
    My java Home ,classpath , and path are all set as I say it was earliar woking fine.
    Please Help.

    I know this is a relatively old post, but some people can stumble on this page when doing a search for this problem.
    Anyway, I ran into this on my PC after I installed Sybase which had an older jre.
    Solution:
    1. Run regedit
    2. Look for Java Runtime Environment
    You may have to do multiple searches. Eventually you'll find one with the version number.
    3. Modify the value and change it to the correct version number. (in your case, you would have changed it from 1.4 to 1.6).
    This is much quicker than reinstalling Java every time installing something that uses an older version of Java hoses up the registry value.

  • Safari keeps asking for Java 8 runtime environment even after multiple instals

    In spite of instaling Java 8 Runtime environment 3 times & restarting safari after verification of Java I keep getting a popup telling me I need the installation to view web content .
    I am getting rather bored of it I shall try shutting down the computer to see if this cures the problem.
    Has any one else experienced this ?

    Most likely, you have either the Facebook video calling plugin or the "NexDef" plugin for watching baseball streams. Both depend on the Java runtime distributed by Apple. If you no longer need the plugin, remove it. Otherwise, install Java.

  • "Setup was unable to detect a usable Java 2 Runtime Environment"

    HI,
    I have installed JDK 1.3.1 on my W2K professional machine. It runs fine. During the installation of Java Web start, the setup dialog box shows "setup was unable to detect a usable Java 2 Runtime Environment" and ask me to install JRE 1.3.0_02. From control panel, I can see JRE 1.3.1 is installed. Does anyone know why this setup program can not detect my existing JRE 1.3.1 from Sun? Please advise.
    Thanks.

    BTW, same thing happened here.... 1.3.1 FCS installed on WinNT prior to installing JWS 1.0.1 and Web Start failed to detect the JRE. I just cancelled the 1.3.0_02 install & Web Start apps worked fine with the 1.3.1 installed...
    Somewhere in Web Start's config is a pointer/field to the JRE it uses...
    Good luck,

  • Problems in Java Runtime Environment Update 14 Control Panel on Windows 7

    When opening the Java Control Panel 6 Update 14 on Windows 7, the text and other elements in the Java Control Panel are distorted as shown in this pic: http://jdash007.googlepages.com/javare614prob.jpg

    Sounds like a Windows problem, in light of this statement from sun about Java 6u14.
    This release is Windows 7 support-ready and includes support for Internet Explorer 8, Windows Server 2008 SP2, and Windows Vista SP2
    The Java Control Panel lives in the Windows world, not Java. It is a .cpl Windows program. Windows 7 is still pre-release.

  • Java Runtime Environment Update

    Hi,
    The 'Vulnerability Scanner' keeps trying to install this update on my desktop PC. It runs for hours without completing and eventually I have to stop it so I can turn off the PC.
    Meanwhile I am having problems using a specific website and I am wondering if there could be a connection between these issues?
    Can anyone please advise what I can do to get this JRE update to install correctly?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Scrap that, the installation has just completed successfully! It must have been listening...

  • Can't Install Java 2 Runtime Environment on Netscape 6.1 (Windows NT) ....

    Dear Colleagues:
    I would like to help to solve the captioned problem:
    I was prompted to install Java 2 when I visited a webpage,
    but the installation/setup went with error and I restart my PC...
    I can't open my Netscape 6.1 anymoree as Error Message (whenever I click my Netscape icon):
    "Close the Program and let the Installation attempt to Complete..and Restart Windows."
    I close my Windows and Restart but it doesn't work.
    Please advise.
    Many thanks!
    O-K.Lai

    There might be some connection or transfer error during the J2 installion but it shouldn't require a reboot. I'm a N6.1 user with Win2k Pro. Try reinstall the n6.1 and download the JVM pack at netscape update center.

  • J2SE Runtime Environment Update 2

    This broke my connection to the 5.0 sensors. I experienced crashes of the browser itself. I know this Java version isn't officially supported by Cisco along with the IDS sensors, but for anyone else experiencing this problem, uninstall the update from "add/remove programs" and you should be back to normal.
    -kpruett

    Just an FYI: the 5.0(1.1) version is a test version for a 5.0(2) Service Pack, and is not available for customer download.
    The 5.0(2) Service Pack is still under development and test, but should be made available fairly soon.
    In the meantime you will need to downgrade back to 1.5.0_01 to use IDM with version 5.0(1).
    Once 5.0(2) Service Pack is released then you will be able to use IDM with the newer 1.5.0_02 Java.
