Questionable Java update

Goodness, that's a lot of browsers.

At this point, I guess it doesn't hurt to try to install Java in a different directory. I don't have a clue why the installation didn't work before. Have you tried that link in post #124?

I agree but when I updated to the latest Avast, I was getting a VERY ANNOYING FULL screen splash screen everytime I re booted.
I went thru ALL the settings in Avast to get rid of it to no avail. Finally, I booted up one day & it automatically started installing Google Chrome.
I don't mind Google Chrome & others I know have asked me "how to" so anyhow, when I tried going here http://trackermap.kingcounty.gov/tracker-map-launch.jsp
in Google Chrome is when that happened.
No,I haven't tried the link in #124 yet. Will do that now.

Looks like the troubleshooter found some problems but you haven't gone through w/ the repair? I'd say let it fix the items it found.

I let it do as asked. I don't know what happened. I'll try it again if you think I should.
I've restarted it & got to here
JAVAFIX.jpg


I scrolled it down to the java area & since the current java isn't shown,I previously clicked on NOT HERE which is at the top of the list if I scrolled back up there.
Now what?
 
I ran the Program Install and Uninstall Troubleshooter but since I don't want it messing up anything on my work laptop, I selected the 2nd option "Detect problems and let me select the fixes to apply". Then it asks whether I have problem installing or uninstalling a program. I stopped at this point since I don't have any issues.

Going by your screenshot, looks like you selected the one that says you have problem installing program? I thought the problem was incomplete uninstall of Java causing the problem?

If you select Not Listed, then you'll need to enter a string of letters/numbers, don't have any idea what that would be.

Rabbit01, If I remember correctly, that other link was similiar to the one you posted.
Yes, yours did give me the option to fix Problem of installing or uninstalling.
I'll go with it one last time & choose the UNINStalling option.

I'd still like to know how java is used on a pc because with the exception of that SINGLE link, I've had NO other problems. Very confused.
Off to try the other option if I don't go craazzyyy first.lol.

Ok, I went with the UNinstall option & got the same screen shot. I'm going to click NOT LISTED.
Yep, clicking gives the "Please enter your product code".

Guess its time to ???
 
For what its worth, when I re installed Google Chrome, it gave me the choice to install java to a different folder. I didn't do such because I didn't know if I should or not.
Click to expand...

Was referring to this.
 
Well, It'll remain a mystery. I tried a different folder whether it was right or not no luck.
Thank you Rabbit01 for your exhaustive help & patience.
I'll bookmark this thread in case a miracle happens some day & it gets fixed.I won't hold my breathe thou. Good day.:grinthumb
 
I've been watching this thread from afar and i gotta tell you its has me baffled. I say that because I've just begun using the Linux OS, lots of code to make things work, sort of like Java. If i remember correctly this all began with an infection of some sort now I'm beginning to wonder if that infection lies at the bottom of this and has the Java script tied up in a knot?

Thanks..

Rabbit01, is the following log of any significance??

But in this case, you'll be searching for Java installer in step #1.
Skip step #2.
Step #3, check if there's a Java folder in "c:\Program Files\Common Files\". Delete it if present.

Then reboot. And see if you can install Java.

Yes, the idea is the same. But I've made some changes to suit your need:

Ok, do I delete java fiolder I show in the previous thread?

I followed the link you posted,but got stuck here.
Click to select the Subject check box, type 340 in the Width of selected column (in pixels) box, and then click OK.
Note It may take several minutes for the subjects to appear next to each MSI file.

Yes, that would be step #3. Delete Java folder in the Common Files folder.

Where in step 1.6 are you stuck? You don't see "Subject"? If that's the case, you'll need to scroll down the list.

This "Click to select the Subject check box, type 340 in the Width of selected column (in pixels) box, and then click OK.
Note It may take several minutes for the subjects to appear next to each MSI file.

I don't see that in the Installer folder any place & I've scrolled up & down a few times.

The java folder has been deleted
 
Locate each .MSI file where the subject is "Microsoft Office <product name> 2010," right-click the MSI file, and then click Uninstall.
Note <product name> is a placeholder for the name of the 2010 Microsoft Office product.


After rebooting,I can't get back to do the above:(

I spoke too soon but still want to confirm I'm supposed to delete the above 36 msi files?
