0 +BudMan MVC Posted August 31, 2012 MVC Share Posted August 31, 2012 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. http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javasebusiness/downloads/java-archive-downloads-javase6-419409.html#jre-6u25-oth-JPR Here is info about how to extract http://java.com/en/download/help/msi_install.xml Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1102505-cant-uninstall-java/#findComment-595138521 Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 +BudMan MVC Posted August 31, 2012 MVC Share Posted August 31, 2012 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.

0 +BudMan MVC Posted August 31, 2012 MVC Share Posted August 31, 2012 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 http://www.oldapps.com/java.php?old_java=75 Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1102505-cant-uninstall-java/#findComment-595138563 Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 44MLX Posted August 31, 2012 Author Share Posted August 31, 2012 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).

0 44MLX Posted August 31, 2012 Author Share Posted August 31, 2012 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!
