Just for note: On XP I still had to remove old java versions add-ons from within the Java console set up before it ran corectly using ONLY the new dll's for speed testing for example

I had to do all that as well, but from what i gather that will not be from now on if you have this update installed it will do all of that for you if and when Java does another up date.

Yeah but in my case i used JavaRa to remove all that was left over first before i installed this new version and all is fine on my end.

»Re: [Update] Java 6u10

I had 1.6 and the current 1.7 in Add/Remove. I removed 1.6 and it appears successfully gone. I have 204 Java files on the computer to look through and while looking through them, I saw that Search had the 1.4 installer package listed in several locations but 1.4 was not in Add/Remove Programs. I removed the install folder from:

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Application Data\{7148F0A6-6813-11D6-A77B-00B0D0142030}

and from C:\Documents and Settings\Default User\Local Settings\Application Data\{7148F0A6-6813-11D6-A77B-00B0D0142030}

and from C:\Documents and Settings\Marilyn\Local Settings\Application Data\{7148F0A6-6813-11D6-A77B-00B0D0142030}

and from C:\WINDOWS\system32\config\systemprofile\Local Settings\Application Data\ApplicationHistory

Then I found 1.5 also: C:\Documents and Settings\Marilyn\Local Settings\Application Data\{3248F0A6-6813-11D6-A77B-00B0D0150060} and removed the folder.

I think removing 1.6 is why Sun Java is again taking away the taskbar transparency. 1.6 was the first version that worked properly in this regard. 1.7 was working properly until I removed 1.6. So, quite frankly, I am sorry I saw this thread. Now I am back to MSJVM. I should not have removed anything or even tried to upgrade to 1.10. Java was working correctly until I read this thread.

If the normal uninstallation process (as mentioned above) fails, then please try Microsoft Windows Installer Cleanup Utility. This tool will ensure that all irrelevant Java Runtime Environment Microsoft Installer (msi) registries are removed. Detailed information and download is available at: »support.microsoft.com/default.as···s;290301

OR GO TO:
Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6 Update 10
»java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp

The home java website still shows a very old release as the most current. I used the link provided by the OP for the most recent version download and chose my OS and offline before proceeding.

I found that old versions weren't removed on my Vista install and ran the installer cleanup utility and reinstalled
For the subsequent installs I followed the steps above I listed and had no problems
