Trying to uninstall older version of J2RE on winxp pro using add remove
progs and ran the uninstaller which completed but left the thing apparently
still installed. Deleted the files from d:\program files\java\J2RE1_41 etc,
but windows thinks it is still installed.

I need this uninstalled to update my java J2RE

I recently installed the J2EE SDK

Help anyone.
