LF: Re: win-xp JAVA upgrade jammed up -help !-

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.

Subject: LF: win-xp JAVA upgrade jammed up -help !-

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Big problem,  Java (old) is  working , but  now  out  of date , some apps   will  not use  it  .....ie  the  web-sdr's  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.
