How to Uninstall Old Versions and Install Version 6 Update 13 of Java

When I try to install Version 6 Update 13 (tried it by downloading file and doing a manual install), get this message:
bin\awt.dll:Old File not found. However, a file of the same name was found. No update done since file contents do not match.
Have tried to unintall Version 12 from "Add/Remove Programs" with no luck.
Shall I unistall all Java programs and try to reinstall?

Bailey,
This is a bit of a pain the arrse but... I suggest you disable java in all your browsers in (tools ~ options) and then reboot to ensure the java plugin is not loaded. Now try uninstalling through add-remove-programs.
If add-remove-programs doesn't work then manually delete the JRE & JDK directories in windows explorer and then run a registry-cleaner (google it, there's a few good free ones, I use registry-mechanic and crapcleaner (yes that's really what it's called)) to clean-up dangling guids, etc. Also check add-remove-programs... if any of the old Java installs still appear then try uninstalling.. they should throw some sort of "installation not found" error and remove themselves from the programs list.
Once all the old versions of Java have been removed then install the latest version, which should install it's plugins in your browser(s) and activate itself... look in (tools ~ options) again.
Check your PATH, JAVA_HOME, etc environment variables... just type "set" at the command prompt... update them to point to your new JRE (and your new JDK if you have one).
If you have a CLASS_PATH variable I recommend you copy&paste it's value into a desktop/class_path.txt and delete the variable, coz it's worse than useless.
Cheers. Keith.

  • UNINSTALL OLD HP AND INSTALL NEW ONE

    I want to uninstall my HP 2050 and install new HP 4510.  How do I do this?  I am 84 alone visually impaired and need simplest explanation.  thank you.

    Hello @airlinelady , I hope you are well
    I will do my best to help you uninstall your 2050 and install your new printer.
    Before I provide any instructions, I will need to know which Operating System you are running on your computer. All you need to do is click this link - Whats My OS, and when the windows pops up, it will tell you which Operating System you are running (Windows 7 for example).
    Also, I cannot find the printer you mentioned you want to install. Please check the model number of the printer and please clarify the information. This link will help you find the model number: How Do I Find My Model Number?
    Please write me back with those two pieces of information and I will help with uninstalling and reinstalling your printers.
    Have a wonderful day

  • How to uninstall old iphoto and reinstall it in old Mac Pro (new iphoto not compatible)

    I can't install the new iPhoto in my Mac Pro (2006-2007 model) but my old iPhoto is not working, won't open and I can't uninstall it and install it again.
    Any ideas how to do it?
    Thanks

    You probably do not need to
    99.9% of the time iPhoto problems are not related to the application but to the library
    However we need details - not just "it doesn't work"
    What version of ihoto? Of the OS? How does it not work? What exactly happens? what recently changed since it sorked?
    If you do need to reinstall you reinstall from the original source

  • How to uninstall Lion OS and install Win7?

    I have a MacAir with 64Gb.
    to fully utilise the space, i will like uninstall Lion and install Win7 only.
    can anyone advise how to do it with bootcamp? if not possible, w/o bootcamp?
    thanks

    Do you have 10.6 Client? Does it boot/run on the latest Mini?
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
    From there you can reformat or erase the Disk

  • Script to uninstall old SMS and install 2012 R2 client

    We are at a client and running into a unique situation. Currently there are 10k devices that have approx. 8000k with sccm 2012 clients installed on. There are approx. 2000k with old sms clients still installed on some being vpn users. We noticed there is
    an option to un install the old client including the /logon switch that skips if sccm client is installed.
    Is there a way to uninstall the old sms client but skip if the machine has the current 2012 client installed on?

    Hi,
    The following script should help. It also works with SCCM 2012.

  • Firefox 4 wont even start up now. how do i uninstall firefox 4 and install previous version

    want to know how to uninstall firefox 4 and install previous version. also where to get download of previous version

    Your problem is caused by the Ask Toolbar which you have installed. There are compatibility issues between Ask and Firefox at the moment.
    Please do the following to ensure a clean installation.<br><br>
    #Use Internet Explorer to download Firefox 4.0.1 from this link: [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/fx/?ref=logo Download Firefox 4.0.1] and choose "'''Save'''" when you see the prompt. Then save it to your desktop. ''Do not choose "Run"''.<br><br>
    #Then go to Add/Remove Programs, scroll down to "Mozilla Firefox" and remove it, choosing to keep your bookmarks, customizations etc., (''don't checkmark the box'').<br><br>
    #Then reboot and delete the folder called "Mozilla Firefox" at this location: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox<br><br>
    #Finally run the installation file you downloaded to the desktop earlier.<br>
    Your bookmarks, customizations etc., are maintained in a different location and will become available to you again once you complete the installation.<br>
    Next, click the Firefox button and go to Add-ons, then Extensions. Find the Ask Toolbar in there and click "Remove".
    If you would still prefer to use the previous secure version, use this download link instead of the one to v4.0.1: [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html Download Firefox v3.6.17] Otherwise the installation procedure and removal of the Ask Toolbar is the same.

  • I was advised to uninstall iTunes and install version 7 so iTunes will recognize my devices but I need to know if I will lose my library when I uninstall?

    I was advised to uninstall previous version of iTunes from my computer and install version 7 in order for the program to recognize my apple devices but I need to know if I will lose my library?

    iTunes  7 is about 7 years old.  Almost certainly your devices would not be recognized.  Could you possibly mean 10.7?
    It would be useful to know if you are using a Mac or Windows.
    Upgrading software normally does not affect the library.  Still, there are weekly complaints by users who say they have lost something while updating so you should make sure you have a backup of your computer before updating any software at all.

    I just bought a new computer.  My old computer was a 32bit system but my new one is a 64bit.  I own ps cs6.  My question is"will I be able to deactivate ps on my old system, and download the 64 bit version and install and activate it or do I have to buy the 64bit version in order to move forward.

    Nope, you can install it on your new computer with no issues. The disc contains both the 32 and 64 bit versions.

  • How can I uninstall iDVD '08 and install iDVD '06?

    There's a reported bug among iDVD '08 users where burning
    large projects are resulting in audio synch problems near the
    end of the burned DVD.
    In other words, the audio slowly goes out of synch towards the
    end of burned projects.
    This is a problem inherent with 'DVD '08.
    I tried uninstalling iDVD '08 and replacing with '06 but it doesn't
    work. You try that and iDVD will not launch at all.
    Even tried to partition my drive and install iLife '06 to the partition
    but the system will not let me.
    Anyone have a solution how to completely uninstall iLife '08
    components and install iLife '06?
    Thanks

    I upgraded to iLife 08 from 06 (bad move). I couldn't install iMovie because my Mac is too old (must be Intel-based or comparable). iDVD didn't work--the document window was always black, even with a theme selected. The Virtual Band function in GarageBand did nothing whatsoever. I trashed the '08 applications, moved all Preferences files to my desktop, reinstalled iLife '06. Now, iDVD won't launch--just flashes the menu bar and exits back to the Finder. So, I have several DVD projects on my system that I cannot finish because I cannot reinstall iLife '06 (like the originator of this problem, "How can I uninstall iDVD '08 and install iDVD '06?") I hope someone has an answer as this is frustrating and costly to my small business.
