Hi Pob,

Can you do the following please...

Please download the Registry Search Tool from here (scroll down-there are also other tools on the page):
http://www.billsway.com/vbspage/
Unzip it to a convenient location such as your Desktop.
Make sure that your Antivirus / OS allows the use of the .vbs scripts. If prompted, make sure to allow the script.
Double click regsearch.vbs
Copy / Paste the following line into the Search Box:
jre1.6.0\
then hit Ok
It may take a while to run.
It will tell you when it's done and offer to have you look at the file in Wordpad.
Say Yes, and when it opens copy/paste the content in your reply.

No problem asking questions.

In RegSearch, can you search for the following: jre1

We want to remove any remnants of the older version of Java. There could be some registry leftovers that is causing the problem, so that is what we are checking for. :)

Hi Pob! Thanks for sticking with this.

This whole problem may be related to the Windows Installer. There have been a lot of them lately, and they can leave corrupt installations.

I'd like you to do the following...

1. From Add/Remove programs, uninstall this version of Java.

Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 6 Update 1

2. Next, go to the following folder: C:\Program Files\Java and delete all the Java folders inside it e.g. jre1.6.0_01

==Reboot the computer==

3. Now go here and download Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6u1 and install it.

4. Go back to Add/Remove programs, and try uninstalling the Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 6 version.

5. Do another RegSearch for jre1, and let me know what happens.


Let me know the results. If there is no change, then we will have to try and repair Windows Installer for you.

Not sure what you mean by that. Do you mean that you typed in "jre1" after reinstalling the latest version of Java and the above log was produced?

Thanks!

Go to File > Save As
Save File name as Fix.reg
Change Save as Type to All Files and save the file to your desktop.
