Silent Uninstall for older version of Java 2 RE.

Is it possible to do a silent uninstall for the older version of Java 2 RE, specifically, RE 1.3.1_11? I know that we can for the newer versions.

A silent uninstall of a JRE isn't supported until
1.4.2.Thanks for your reply. Was this because InstallShield was not the supported installer?

  • How do I set javac to compile for older versions of java?

    I need to compile a ".java" file for version 1.4.0 of java in order to run it on Nintendo DS. However, my version of java is 1.6.0.
    In resume, I need to set javac to compile for version 1.4.0, but I haven't had much success figuring it out myself, so if anyone knows this, please?

    ++++ that.
    Using the -source/-target options are not a guarantee that the specified JRE will have the required classes, methods and attributes available. Those options only ensure the classes have a format that is 'reabable' by the target JRE.
    Using the -bootclasspath option guarantees the classes are not only readable, but that the VM will not throw 'NoSuchMethodError's or equivalent, at run-time.

  • HT5242 Are the older versions of Java automatically uninstalled during an update?

    Are older versions of Java automatically uninstalled during an update?

    If you open the /Applications/Utilities/Java Preferences.app then the available Java Virtual Machines will be listed.

  • TS3489 Can the older version of Java be restored to the Mac OS X 10.4.11?  I have a new MacBook, but I like using my older desktop model for certain things.

    Although I have a new MacBook,  I also have an older desktop Mac OS X 10.4.11 (which I still use) that just recently "stated" the older Java plug-in has been removed and the newer version needs to be installed.  The Mac OS X 10.4.11 doe not appear to be compatible with the updated version of Java.   Prior to this week, my grandchildren have been able to play some online early childhood games with this computer and I have been able to watch the occasional YouTube video.  Can the older version of Java be restored to the Mac OS X 10.4.11?

    I'm not familiar enough with the Mac to know where your history is. Hopefully another Mac user can chime in.

  • Told I Need Older Version Of Java

    Hi, I started having issues in a chat environment after recently installing Java which came with OpenOffice. I was told for my browser to work as before, I needed to get an older version of Java. Is it possible to have different versions, or do I need to uninstall the present (uplevel) one? Thanks.

    Check a source such as Amazon or eBay, or try following these instructions.

  • Can't get the itunes version 8 to uninstall the older version

    Does anybody know how to get around uninstalling the older version of itunes so that the version 8 will install?

    When you ask a question you need to describe exactly what happened with any error messages, otherwise it is difficult for anyone to help you.
    Here is a generic way of dealing with uninstall problems.
    Download a fresh copy of iTunes and the stand alone version of Quicktime (the one without iTunes)
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install Microsoft Installer cleanup utility, there are instructions on the page as well as the download. Note that what you download is the installer not the program – you have to run it to install the program.
    To run the program – All Programs>>Windows Install Cleanup
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/
    Now use the following method to remove iTunes and its components:
    XP
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
    Vista
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
    *If you hit a problem with one of the uninstalls don't worry*, carry on with the deleting of files and folders as directed in the method.
    When you get to deleting Quicktime files in the system32 folder as advised in the method, you can delete any file or folder with Quicktime in the name.
    Restart your PC.
    Run the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility. (Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up)
    Remove any references you find to the programs you removed - strictly speaking you only need to worry about those programs where the uninstall failed.
    If you don’t see an entry for one of the programs that did not uninstall, look out for blank entries or numeric entries that look like version numbers e.g. 7.x for Quicktime or 1.x for Bonjour.
    restart your PC
    Install the stand alone Quicktime and check that it works.
    If it does, install iTunes.

  • How to force the browser to uninstall the older version of plugin?

    Hi
    The application I am working installs the plugin from its server rather than installing from sun's site when the user opens the page first time. But I want to have all the users use the same version of plugin(because the application loads some libraries as plugin extension).
    If any of the user has older version of plugin installed already I want the browser to uninstall the older version and install the newer version from the web server automatically.
    Have any one come across this situation?
    Thanks.

    Isn't that a potentially dangerous thing to allow an applet to do? If you are developing for a company intranet, have your admin do it on all company computers. But if this is a commercial application, I am sure most users won't want an applet uninstalling programs from their computer.

  • HT5045 Is there a way to install older versions of Java, like Java 6 Update 26 on Mac OS X 10.7 ?

    We have an application that worked fine on Java 6 Update 26. Update 29 broke the application. Even though we have fixed the problem, for people using older versions of the application, there is no recourse, if they have upgraded their OS to 10.7. So, is there a way to install Java 6 Update 26 on Mac OS X 10.7 ?

    Hello,
    I have a client that just started working remotely and needs to do payroll via her Mac OS X 10.7.5 system via a web browser. The payroll system appears to be ADP/Kronos as far as I can tell. We first tried using Safari and it said the plugin was missing so we downloaded the latest Java and installed. When we tried to run it dumped the following error. (see below)
    At this point we decided to try Firefox and rather than a dump we found the message Java 1.6.0_07 required.
    At this point we went hunting for an older version of Java and did find one only to be told if was specifically for OS X 10.5.x. My client is running OS X 10.7.5.
    I have other clients running Windows that have multiple (older) versions of Java installed including 4, 5 and 6 all on one machine so I'm not sure if this is possible on Mac OS X or not.
    Note I am not in charge of the payroll system and have no way of updating that side of things. I may recommend that my client contact her internal Help Desk or revert to using a Windows based system as I know for sure that would be capable of handling these requirements.
    Thanks, Jason

  • I want to delete/uninstall an older version to bring up the newest version. How do I do this?

    What more details do you need? I want to uninstall an older version of Firefox and install 4.0X. But cannot seem to be able to get rid of 3.04

    OK, here I am replying to myself but perhaps others may gain from this solution. Remember, this original post was "how to stop Adobe preventing me from installing an older version and forcing me to take the latest version...". I just wanted to re-install an older version to prevent big CPU usage and stuttering video. Well, this is what fixed it for me an allowed me to install Adobe Flash V9...
    Assuming you have properly uninstalled Adobe Flash Player v10.n, you need to remove a folder and files from your registry. If you are unhappy to do this, then ask an expert - the registry is not somewhere you want to get lost in. I am also assuming you have the correct system permissions, Anway this is what I did:
    1. Go to start button and find (and run) REGEDIT.EXE
    2. Rather than give you a specific path to follow, it is best to simply use REGEDIT to find the folder by clicking "Edit" then "Find".
    3. You are looking for a folder called "SafeVersions".
    4. When you find it, it may show a number of safe versions (previous loads of the player).
    5. From the left window pane, right click on the aforementioned folder then click "Delete"
    6. Respond to any prompts you might get, like, "do you want to do this..." etc.
    7. Close down all applications in the normal manner and reboot.
    8. When restarted, go back on line and download the V9 (or whatever version you want). You'll know its a good 'un as it loads in a fraction of the time.
    9. Go back to your web page or whatever and, hey presto, everything is back to what it was before that hungry V10.n was uploaded.
    Hope that helps, it might be nice if the Adobe uninstaller deleted this registry entry, but it doesn't - or at least in Win7 on my PC, it didn't.
    Let me know it the above works for you.
    Thanks and good luck

  • Compile for older versions

    Hi,
    I did some code and when trying to run the jar file in another computer i have the problem that the code was compiled in mine with version 1.6 and the other computer has java version 1.5.
    Is it possible to compile a jar file for older versions?
    Please help,
    Rodo.

    Here's an example of how flaky the -source and target flags are. This code compiles and runs fine under 1.5 (without flags):
    import java.io.*;
    public class VersionExample {
        public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
            PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(new File("test.txt"));
            try {
                out.format("%s%n", "woops");
                out.flush();
            } finally {
                closeIt(out);
        static void closeIt (Closeable stream) {
            try {
                stream.close();
            } catch (IOException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
    }Now supply flags -source 1.4 and -target 1.4 and you get one error message:
    path...\VersionExample.java:7: cannot find symbol
    symbol  : method format(java.lang.String,java.lang.String)
    location: class java.io.PrintWriter
                out.format("%s%n", "woops");It seems to be noting that format() was introduced in 1.5, right? But what about interface Closeable and constructor PrintWriter(File)? They were introduced in 1.5, too! Yet if you comment out line 7 above, the rest of the code compiles :-(. Odd...
    edit: I see what the compiler was choking on: format's use of varargs. If you rewrite the offending line as
    out.format("%s%n", new String[]{"woops"});it compiles with flags -source 1.4 -target 1.4 :-(

  • HT201260 Tried to remove Symantec End Point software by dropping it in the trash and then emptied trash, of course now when I try and install newer version it tells me to uninstall the older version I can not access now. Any solutions?

    Tried to remove Symantec End Point software by dropping it in the trash and then emptied trash, of course now when I try and install newer version it tells me to uninstall the older version I can not access now. Any solutions?

    You usually have to use the program's uninstaller utility for such things as Symantec. Read this:

    You may need to install it all over again, just to use its uninstaller.

  • I have upgraded to newer version of labview, and the older versions of LavVIEW are now piling up. Can I uninstall the older versions? if yes how?

    Do I have to keep all the old versions of LabVIEW as I did not uninstall the older versions, but only downloaded the latest version of labview from the website and installed it. A new version and icon is installed on my PC now. What can I do?

    You asked "Do I have to keep all the old versions...". Of course not. You can do whatever you want. Each version of LabVIEW installs in its own directory, which is what allows you to keep multiple versions installed in case you need to support programs written in earlier version that cannot be upgraded yet for whatever reason. Conflicts may arise if you install older versions later than new ones and you install the libraries for the hardware interfaces like VISA and such. Older versions of these libraries sometimes cause problems with newer versions of LabVIEW.
    If you do not want multiple versions, common practice is to completely uninstall the current version before installing the new one. If you have more than two versions but only want the latest, simply uninstall the older ones from the main NI installer. Depending on how old the versions are that you are uninstalling something with the new one may break so you may need to repair that installation. You may just want to simply uninstall all NI software and then just do a clean install of the latest version. That will likely be your best course of action.

  • When uninstalling an older version of reader, I get an error message about transform paths

    I tried to uninstall version 8.1.2, and I get an error message to verify that the specified transform paths are valid. Some body please help. I could use the 90mb of space it's taking up.
    My system is a laptop, vista 32 bit. No security update issues are involved. I am running version 10, and simply want some memory back.

    Claudia, thanks for the link. It removed the old version in about 30 seconds Microsoft Fixit looks like a great repair tool. Thanx for the hook-up. Redbaron8.
