Unable to Uninstall JRE 5.0 update 4 - Already have this version installed

843798Nov 7 2005 — edited May 2 2008

I am trying to uninstall J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 update 4 from my Win XP Pro IBM T42p. I get the following error message after clicking on "Remove" in Add/Remove Programs - "You already have this verison of the JRE installed. Please uninstall the produc through the add/remove programs utility before reinstalling." Then the add/remove utility returns the following error: "Fatal error during installation."

I get the same error whether I choose "Remove" or "Change". I tried a new installation of 5.0 update 4, but I get the same message. I was able to successfully install 5.0 update 5.

How can I remove update 4 - either manually or via the add/remove utility?

Thanks,

Ben
