Re: Delete Old Java Before Intsll New Version?

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

I've been told that this advice has been given elsewhere. Is it correct? TIA

There is a new update for the Java SE Runtime Environment. It corrects some
issues with IE7 and Vista\IE7

The Update version is jre 1.6.0_02 Update

****Important NOTE****

The previous version of jre 1.6.0_01 should be Deleted from the Control
Panel\Add\Remove and also from the

%windir%\Program Files since it can cause issues at times with the affected
apps that call on it..

When done all that needs to show in Control Panel and %windir%\Program Files
is the following

Java (TM) 6 Update 2
Java (TM) SE Runtime Environment 6

1. Uninstall /all/ JRE versions via Add/Remove Programs and reboot.

2. Delete C:\Program Files\Java <=this folder, if found. Do NOT delete
C:\Program Files\JavaVM <=this folder, if found!

3. Download the Windows Offline Installation file for, e.g., jre 1.6.0_02,
saving it to your desktop.

4. Close all browser windows and install.

The Sun web site says not to delete older versions of the Java Runtime
Environment (I currently have version 1.4.1.02 on my XP system) before
installing a later version (I want to install Version 1.6 -2, the latest
version), but I've seen others post that you should delete the older
version before installing a newer one. Advice, anyone?
