Please look under...
C:\Program Files\Java

The only folder under that folder should be the latest version.

Such as...
C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_01

What do YOU have ?

I am also having great difficulty in installing the above update of
Java. I have been getting downloads automatically, indicated by a
message and a symbol in systray, but each time the Windows installer
tells me that the downloaded package is not a valid installation file.
I checked the Java folder and found that I had several different
levels of rel 5 installed, (presumably an update does not remove or
replace the previous release) so I used add/remove programs to remove
them all. But the 6.0_01 download still gives me the same invalid
download message. And now, of course, I have no Java.
