Problems installing 6.2

Hi need some expert advice please urgently:

Have 6.1 on my machine currently - tried to update to 6.2 using auto update feature - says problem with installer. Checked vers 6.1 not to be seen in add/remove programmes - downloaded windows cleanup utility but JRE not show in the list there either. Downloaded offline installl vers of 6.2 - ran it but nothing happens.

I need to get this problem sorted urgently - hope some Java pro expert out there can kindly come to my aid quickly. Will be monitoring posts frequently in anticpation of early assistance with my problem. Thanks in advance .

Thanks - yes I downloaded that tool but no reference in it to Java or JRE - so nothing to delete there. Any further help?

See http://java.sun.com/javase/6/webnotes/install/jdk/install-windows.html

This installation requires Windows Installer 2.0 to be on your machine,
