When I attempted to update the JRE from 1.3.1 to 1.5 on my Win XP machine, the installer stalled midway through and I aborted it. Now when I try to reinstall 1.5, I get a J2SE Runtime Environment Installation error stating that "You already have this version of the JRE installed. Please uninstall the product through the Add/Remove Programs utility before reinstalling. The only entry under Add/Remove is for JRE 1.3.1.
How do I clean up the registry entries or other instances of the failed install so that the reinstall will succeed?
Thanks in advance.
use regedit, delete the key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft
If you want to be more delicate and tip-toe around, look at each subkey and use your best judgement.
