just download the msi again, and then you can point to it to uninstall

You can extract the msi from the exe.. this method is normally used for deployment in a domain. Are you in a domain - I would check with your admins before installing/uninstalling anything on company desktop.

you can find the java 6 update 25 x64 offline exe here.

Here is info about how to extract

how did you get a msi install?? Strange - was it installed as part of a package? Either way you can download the offline exe and extra the msi, then when you go to uninstall it just point to where you extracted the msi too, etc.

Just grab the offline - do an install, have it reinstall, etc. Then uninstall it and you should be good.

NO You don't -- you just need to accept the license.. I don't have an oracle account that is for damn sure.

edit: Hmmm that is new, must be for the older copies.. Just sign up for one they are FREE, use some dummy info if you want.

edit2: If you don't want to do that grab it from oldapps

I think I need the 64-bit version of what I just done.

I got a box from Windows Installer stating:

The file

'C:\Users\Kaplan\AppData\LocalLow\Sun\Java\jre1.6.0_25\jre1.6.0_25.msi' is not a valid installation package for the product Java 6 Update 25 (64-bit). Try to find the installation package 'jre1.6.0_25.msi' in a folder from which you can install Java 6 Update 25 (64-bit).

    • Linux 7.2's first release candidate gets off to a good start

      By zikalify · Posted

      Linux 7.2's first release candidate gets off to a good start by Paul Hill Credit: Larry Ewing It has been a few weeks since the release of Linux 7.1, and in that time, the Linux 7.2 merge window has been open, where developers can submit their features and patches ready for the upcoming release. That window is now shut, and the release candidate phase has begun so that new features can be tested and further fixes applied. According to the founder of Linux, Linus Torvalds, this week’s release candidate looks “reasonably normal”. Although we are super early in the release candidates, this is a good sign as it makes it more likely that an eighth release candidate will not be needed. Torvalds even mentioned that the update’s stats are only larger than they really are because there was another AMD header drop with a third of the patch just being AMD GPU register definitions, which aren’t big changes but make the code contributed look larger overall. In addition to this, he noted that just over half the patch is drivers, even when excluding the AMD register dump. The rest of the changes are spread out over architecture updates, tooling, documentation, and core kernel updates. In the next week, Torvalds says that he will be chilling out, taking the week “mostly off”. Despite this, he will be reading emails and keeping up with things, so if he is slow responding, now you know why. He said he is hoping for a calm week, but we will just have to see if the second release candidate is actually like that. We should expect seven or eight release candidates before Linux 7.2 is released, so expect it around the end of August. If you missed it a few weeks ago, be sure to check out our coverage of Linux 7.1's release.

      Ridiculous claim that the labor cost difference of $6000 annually would increase cost per phone by $200. The employees produce 3 phones per month or what?

      Never used the G7 Pro, but I've never had a good experience with that style of d-pad and fighting games.

      And I just bought a seat cushion for my mesh chair. The chair feels nice but the first time I sat in it with boxers, I realized I don't like the feel of mesh on my legs. 😂
