I am trying to uninstall JAVA 6, Update 26. I first deleted the actual program files. But when I went to Add/Remove Programs on my Control Panel, it was still there! I clicked on the Remove button for Java. A Windows Installer box pops up saying "Please wait while Windows configures Java" and then "Fatal Error During Installation". I tried redownloading JAVA 6-26, but it didn't work because I already fatal error during had JAVA "installed". I tried downloading JAVAra, and now, there's a Java Auto Updater program on the Add/Remove Programs page that doesn't even have a "Remove" program button! Could someone please, please help me get rid of Java 6-26 and the Auto updater?? They aren't viruses, are they?!?

What you see in the control panel are registry entries that link to the now non existend uninstaller. To get rid of those wrong entries i recommend you use CCleaner, which checks your registry for invalid entries. That should cle
PDQ Deploy Greetings fellow Sys Admins. If you, like me, are responsible for installing Java on all of your company's Windows computers then you have most assuredly seen the dreaded Java error 1603 code. The video at the bottom of this post shows a Java 1603 error fix. ***Please note, PDQ Deploy does not work on Home editions of Windows*** What is a Java Error 1603? This is a Windows Installer (MSI) error that simply means "Fatal error during installation". This error usually means that "something the installer expected wasn't available" or "Something exists that the installer didn't expect". There are a number of reasons why 1603 is thrown. Rather than try to go into all the different reasons why this could happen (the number of reasons are too voluminous for a simple blog) I will quickly mention a few and then show you a great way to overcome this problem when it comes to Java. So pour a Guinness and listen (read) up. Possible Reasons for a Java Error 1603 A required installation file is missing such as the data1.cab file if you are installing using the extracted MSI in Java 7. (Java 8 no longer uses a separate .cab file as all the necessary files are embedded in the actual MSI). If you are deploying Java then an AV solution may delete the included files thus causing the installer to throw a 1603. There are remnants of a previous Java installation. When Java is installed (by default) it attempts to uninstall previous updates in the same family. e.g. Installing Java 7 Update 71 will uninstall Java 7 Update 67 but NOT Java 6 or Java 8. Java Update did not complete. Sometimes previous updates are not completely uninstalled. When this happens a 1603 error can occur when the new version tries to install. Sometimes the only remnant (that can still cause a failure) is a stray registry key! (seriously) Java is currently being used when the installation begins. This is fairly common when you attempt to deploy the jre-7uxx-windowsxx.exe and the target computer is running Java in a browser. You are attempting to deploy the online Java exe. If you are deploying the EXE (and not the extracted MSI) then it is imperative that you only install the offline version. A quick way to tell is if your install file contains the letters "iftw" in the name. (e.g. jre-8u11-windows-i586-iftw.exe). Iftw means "Install From The Web". This file is very small (
