Here's a tip......
DO NOT simply delete programs from the HDD. You are literally BEGGING for registry problems.
Use 'Add/Remove Programs' in Control panel.
IF the entry isn't there, use the Start menu, and see if the program has its own uninstall routine.
If you HAVE to delete as a LAST RESORT, run CCleaner or similar and do a registry clean-up to remove invalid entries.

Basically speaking, Java Runtime Environment 6 is supposed to be removed from your computer after those steps. When you install the other similar program or re-install the same program player, you get trapped. What's going on? Don't be so surprised. That is because there are still some trash, such as broken registry keys, unnecessary files and folders, which can't be totally deleted and prevent you to perform the installation. What else can we do to forcibly uninstall Java Runtime Environment 6 ? Then try a method by using a popular program
so you can try this there is a reputation-gained uninstaller which can help you remove Runtime Environment 6 quickly and simply. What's the most important; it can remove the trash thoroughly and enable you to do the next installations successfully.
