Cannot delete Se Development Kit from Vista

Thread view: 
Wayne McDermott - 08 Sep 2007 00:35 GMT
Hello,
I need to reinstall the JDK but the installer insists the development kit is
still installed, when I agree to re-installing it just stays in an endless
loop of telling me it is already installed and do I want to reinstall. I
have physically deleted all the java directories and last night paid 40
bucks for a registry cleaner that has made no difference.

When I try to delete using the uninstall utility in Vista it claims to
delete it by the Java SE Development Kit Update 2 reference stays there.
Does anyone know what I need to do to be able to get it re-installed?

Thanks,

Wayne

You can get rid of it by deleting the directory and manually deleting
the registry entries. See http://mindprod.com/jgloss/registry.html
