Hi there people, I am having trouble uninstalling Java™ 6 Update 25 (64-bit). When I try to uninstall Windows Installer asks me to find 'jre1.6.0_25.msi' I can't find that file.

Anyone can help me with this issue?

NOTE: Got a Screen Shot if it helps!

THANKS!

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.

This is my own personal computer. I am the only user.

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.

I need to create an Oracle account in order to download.

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).

yeah grab the 64 bit version - that is what I pointed to at oldapp

[I_Kaplan]

Which one is the offline installer for 64-bit?

Nethermind, I just used Geek Uninstaller and "Force Removal" to get rid of it, thanks for your help though!

So you sure that just doesn't remove it from the list?
