How to uninstall Java 2 Runtime v1.3.x silently

I am trying to uninstall old version v1.3.x of Java 2 Runtime Environment silently (through command-line) using script. but I can't find a way to do so. Is there someone know how to uninstall old version silently?
That would be a great help if someone can reply back with proper answer. Thanks in advance. Raj

I'm not sure if this is the correct forum for your question, what OS are you running? Sun's first two Java Desktop System releases have Java 1.4 JREs preinstalled.
The general case for uninstalling rpms with no dependencies is:
rpm -e {rpmname}
So if: rpm -qa | grep j2re shows that j2re-1.3.something is installed, then you can remove this with: rpm -e j2re-1.3.something Make sure you have a suitable replacement.

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.

How to uninstall Java runtime 1.5 completely and then install Java 1.4...

Dear Friends,
I have a software running with Java runtime 1.4. When the new version of Java (1.5) became available, I installed it. And then the software I am using becomes useless since it doesn't work with the new Java 1.5. I uninstalled java 1.5 and then reinstalled Java 1.4. But it doesn't work. I'll be very glad if someone can help me uninstalling Java 1.5 completely from my computer.

I have a similar problem under Windows XP. When I go to "Control Panel" and try to remove that Java installation, clicking on the "Change/Remove" button has no effect whatsoever: the program name simply dims for a moment, and then reappears with no evident change. Is there not a separate routine available to effect a removal, so the program may be reinstalled?

How to UNinstall Java Web Start?

How can I uninstall Java Web Start from my computer? I have Java 2 Runtime Environment, and the option to uninstall it appears in my Add/Remove programs menu, but I'd like to leave Runtime on and just remove Web Start. How can I do this?

As of JRE 1.4.2, Java WebStart is part of the JRE and can't be uninstalled separately.
Why do you wish to uninstall it?

Error Message 1316 while uninstalling Java 2 Runtime Env SE v1.4.2_03msi

I recently updated to Java 10 while in the process of clearing some nasty virus/malware off my system. I worked with a tech guide to do the clean up. He told me to uninstall old updates, including Java 2 Runtime Environment, SE v1.4.2_03. In the process, I got this error message:
Error 1316 - A network error occurred while attempting to read from file C:\WINDOWS\Installer\Java 2 Runtime Environment, SE v1.4.2_03msi.
then I clicked OK to continue and got a Fatal Error at the end and the uninstall was unsuccessful.
The tech guide told me that "hackers can use script to infect you via these old versions." The virus/malware we caught was spyware and serious. I'm serious about getting clean... any advice please?
Thanks -
BirdieKaie

Update 10. As in "C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_09\ <<< Java just updated to 10, update your version please."

How to Uninstall Java Dialog Instance

Does anyone know how to uninstall a Java Dialog instance?
The install instructions, 'SAP Web Application Server 6.40 SR1 Java on Windows: MS SQL Server' suggest that I should go to the control panel and select the add/remove program and then find the instance and remove it. However, the instance does not appear in the list.
Note: I have the ABAP stack (DEV) and the java stack (JDV) installed on the same box. But, the java stack is not an add-in. The ABAP stack instance does appear in the add/remove program list.

ok Doug,
i've a workaround for that.
Go to registry editor.IF YOU Find the Service corresponding to J03(SAP<SID>_03). Delete it. (if you want to be fail safe, export that contents to a file using FILE --> EXPORT and then delete it. you may import it later if you want). and RESTART the PC.
this process will ensure that there is no instance according to your system (coz no registry entry is found). it is as good as removed. but the files that were created during the instance installation will remain in your hard drive.
IN CASE you need this instance later or this workaround gives you any trouble, just import the registry contents file which you have exported earlier and RESTART THE PC.
it is as good as it was!!!
this is an easy work around but slightly risky as u are fiddling with your SYSTEM REGISTRY ENTRIES.
Regards
Arun.
PS: Remove the corresponding entry in the WINDOWS SERVICES file. otherwise, it will give PORT IN USE during later installation with instance number 03.

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.

How to uninstall Java SDK 1.5.0_14

Dear,
I just installed a brand new Solaris 10 and latest patch cluster.
Default on my system are the following 2 folders under /usr/jdk:
j2sdk1.4.2_11 and jdk1.5.0_06
I installed the Java SDK 1.5.0_14, but in the wrong destination folder.
When I check my Java version with "Java -version"
java version "1.5.0_06"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_06-b05)
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 1.5.0_06-b05, mixed mode)
Why I don't have the latest one, the SDK 1.5.0_14 ?
My question: I want a proper situation with only the Java SDK 1.5.0_14 installed.
How do I remove Java SDK 1.5.0_14.
How do I remove Java SDK 1.5.0_6
Do I have to remove the 1.4.2_11 ?
Thx guys...

Thx for your answer...
I want to have the installation of Java SDK 1.5.0_14 in a different location ?
Can I just move the folder ?
But I guess it's better to do uninstall and re-install it ?
Right ?
Thx in advance guys... (I'm not yet worked in in this stuff...)

How to Uninstall Java SDK Eval Package?

First, some background info: I am not a Java programmer, but I need to have the Java SDK v1.4.1 (or later) installed on my Solaris 8 Sparc platform in order to be able to run some 3rd-party web-based database software tools.
I accidentally installed the 'evaluation' Enterprise version of the Java SDK v1.4.1. I did not uninstall the underlying 1.2.1_04 JDK, so that still shows up when I run the "java -version" command, probably because I did not use the 'pkgadd' utility to add the eval SDK. Now I want to erase the evalware, but I'm afraid I might clobber something else in the process. How do I go about uninstalling the eval SDK?

How to uninstall java 6, because of installed java 8

Hi.
I have yosemite running on my mac.
I've needed java, so I installed it from
Java for OS X 2014-001
OK so far.
I downloaded eclipse and wanted to code some stuff as I realized that I need Java JRE 1.8
So I downloaded and installed it:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.h tml
The issue I have is, that I do not have the possibility to code under 1.8,
all I have in /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines is 1.6.0.jdk
Also the class path under eclipse (LUNA) looks strange, means that there is an entry for JVM ... 1.6
Any ideas how to fix that?
Thanks a lot in advance

How to uninstall Java 7 and reinstall Java 6?

I followed
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/guides/jweb/mac-faq.html
and
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5559?viewlocale=en_US
and still it's

Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.5-b02, mixed mode)
Thank you.

There are several reasons.
I need to test and verify compilation issues of software components, which aparently don't work as expected under Java 7.Apache Sling to name one.
Also Wuala does recommend to switch back to Java 6.

How to uninstall Java 7 and install Java 6

I recently updated to OS X Lion 10.7.5, I have very important application that run Java 6, but the update removed Java 6 and the Java Preferences app and replaced it with Java 7, I am very unhapp with this and have searched online for nearly 4 hours for a fix to my problem. I just want Java 6 back, and no, I don't want to Archive and reinstall, and I don't want to pay $20 for Mountain Lion update. I want Java 6 back.

That's not really true. It removed the browser plugin and if you try to replace it you will be taken to Oracle for Java 7, but it's not clear what happens when you do that. Check in System Preferences for the Java preference pane and see what it says. Type "java -version" in Termina and see what it says. Does it replace all of Java 6, or just the plugin with Java 7.
