I've been beating my head against this wall for two full days now. I tried installing update JRE 24 and it fails every time with "Internal Error 2753. regutils.dll." I've gone through various forums and tried a variety of tactics. I first uninstalled the older version I had. That didn't work. I then went through the registry and deleted tons of Java references based on a search for the path to Java's bin folder. I deleted c:\program files (x86)\java. that didn't work.
I followed the tips from this thread:
1318410 to remove the two JavaSoft registry entries. That didn't work. I followed their Orca tips to remove the NewConsumerVersionInstalled entry. That didn't work either.
I'm running Win 7 Pro x64. I have searched c:\program files (x86)\ for RegUtils.dll and find it in two folders:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Designer 8.2\jre\bin
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS3\JVM\bin
What can I do to get this thing installed? Or do I just give up on running JRE-based websites and applications (including Oracle SQL Developer which died during all my uninstall steps) forever?
HELP!
