Java(TM) Platform SE binary has stopped working when I install Java

BoholdtJan 15 2014

Hi everyone

I have a computer where I not can uninstall or install Java.

Every time I try to run the Java uninstaller, or the Java installer (the latest version 7 Update 51),
Windows give me the following message:

Java(TM) Platform SE binary has stopped working

A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.

Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.

---

When I click ok to the message, the uninstaller process continue, and after that, I guess Java is
correct uninstalled, but I am not sure, because I still can find an add-on in Internet Explorer 11 from Java, but the folders etc. from the computer is
deleted.

 

Therefore I searched in the Windows registry database, and deleted all keys and sub keys regarding Java.

Before I tried to install Java again, I run a registry cleaning tool and the tool also find many errors that I fixed with the tool.

When I tried to install the latest version of Java again, the installation program give me the same results I describe above.

After the installation I am more confused before I uninstalled the older version, because:

1. When I start up Internet Explorer 11, I allow that the Java ADD-On must run, but if I try to verify that Java is installed correctly nothing happen

  1. 2. If I try to run Java in the browser Google Chrome, Java run correctly, and I also can verify that Java
    is installed correctly.
  2. Another error message
    Windows give me when I installed Java is that a process in Windows called
    Rundll32.exe is stopped.

  When I install / uninstall other programs all working fine.

If you have a solution I can try, or alternative an answer to why the problem come up, I will be
happy.

The computer is running Windows 7 64-bit Service Pack 1.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Anders
