Thanks Ron,
Will give it a try , sods law , the problem
is on the main PC ........mine
...... 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
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out of date , some apps will not use it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.
