"Error while registering the Java 2 Runtime Environment registry keys"

"Error while registering the Java 2 Runtime Environment registry keys"

I am getting the above error when trying to install the 1.3 JRE (installed with the 1.3 plug in which I need). As part of my development I have been installing and uninstalling the JRE multiple times. Then, I got the above error when trying to install it, and now it appears to be installed but I cannot uninstall it. When I try to uninstall it, it just remains, and when I try to install it again I get the above error. I have tried cleaning up all javasoft registry entries, but it doesnt seem to have helped. Can anyone help me either completely uninstall the JRE so I can do a clean install or help me get rid of the error above when I install. Is there some registry entries I should be looking at? Anything else? this is quite urgent as I need to test my applet with the plugin installed and not installed - and I currently cant uninstall it. Any ideas?

Thanks for your help

Aaron

Hi friend,

Just doing this okay

Try deleting following key from your registry.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JAVA-PLUGIN (or) anything related to java

and

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\JAVA-PLUGIN (or) anything related to java

then HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Currentversion\uninstall and if you again go down you'll find a key with respective JRE version try deleting it too.

Well,friend this worked for me.It is always better you take a backup of your registry and then try doing these keys.

Regards,

RAHUL
