R Alan,
 
Well  , same  this  side,  until the  last  couple  of  updates , then  came  the  error messages,  but  looking  on the  web for the  'apparent' missing  file, the  problem is not  unique. most  posts  base  round  the  same  broken   net-work path..
 
After running  the   MS  tool and  re-loading  ,  IE8 , FFox and  Chrome now  all   running  as  normal  with   xp-pro -sp3  + all  updates.
 
Java updates  , direct  from the  sun-java  site  ..  cause  ?

Hi Graham, I am surprised at your problems I am running Jave 6 on W2000 Pro, XP and two Linux machines. In fact Java 7 is around now. Firefox uses it and I have been running that for several years. I wonder where you were downloading it from?

Thanks  Ron,
 
Will  give it a  try  , sods law , the  problem  is on the  main  PC ........mine  Sad smile emoticon ......  all  the other  pc's round  the place  are  fine  
 
I have  tried  the  'dedicated'  Java  removal   tool's that  are supposed to remove  it , but  these  dont  seem  to  work ,  the  errors  all  seem  to  point to wrong path's  etc  , oddly  looking  in the  settings /doc's / app etc   java   directory , the  file  that is  being  called  is not  there  ..  running  search  also  fails  to  find it  ..  ....   
 
looking  on the  web , it seems Im not the  only  one  with  problems  linked to this file 
 
\Java\jre1.6.0_20\
 
 
Tnx -  G ..

Graham,
 
I didn't see an answer to this on the list. You can give Revo uninstaller a try,
it's a freebie and does a very good job of removing stubborn software including
things that hide in the registry http://www.revouninstaller.com/   You can get
the free version on cnet downloads and avoid the adverts on the main page.

The  JAVA  upgrade is  totally  jammed  up  . will  not  install  the
latest  Version  .cannot   de-install  any of the  older  versions
using  the  windows-add/remove.  
 
gives ::error applying transforms  , verify the specified  transform  paths are  valid
 
The  java upgrade  has the  same  problem  with  valid  paths.......
 
Big problem,  Java (old) is  working , but  now  out  of date , some apps   will  not use  it  .....ie  the  web-sdr's  
 
But , non  of the  remove  'systems'  will  take  out the  old  versions or  install  the  new  , all  have  reference to   paths  not  being  valid etc
 
Q  any  ideas  how  to  manually  remove  Java  from  windows xp-pro    sp3 ? ( most links  expect the  windows  remove  function  to  work)
 
Tnx -G.
