Ref: Java 6 26 "error 1723" help :(
Umm...I'm making you nervous? Haha, considering it's 2 am and I just downloaded the JavaRa, well I unziped it and first checked the Java version I supposedly have installed.
This Came up:
Installed JRE Versions:
========================
Java(TM) 6 Update 31 (64-bit) version: 6.0.310
Before we go on, yes I am sorry I am computer technical handicapped :(
So no, I did not restore before I ran regedit...Not that I even could considering I never set up backup restore...I'm terrible I know!! And no, I did not export the entries I am sorry...but I will thank you endlessly if you are able to help me out here.
So moving on. I tried checking for updates using Jucheck.exe tool but a pop up that reads:
Java Update Checking Utility (Jucheck.exe) could not be found on your system.
...I am going to guess that's my fault. So don't laugh at me if I try unnecessary tasks.
Well then I tried the download and install latest version, it downloaded and said it was successful...but nothing else happened.
Umm...I'm at a loss. I tried doing a removal of Runtime installer 6, it then said :
The JavaRa definition has been removed. You need to download them before continuing.
So then I clicked download but, it froze up and a pop came up that read :
An error occurred while downloading file. Possible causes; 1)File doesn't exist. 2)Remote server error. Download has been cancelled.
I tried it once more and a different pop up came up reading: Could not make a connection to download server. Please see our online help assistance. This error can be caused by incorrect proxy settings or a security product conflict.
So. I am seriously both confused and mentally kicking my ass for messing with the regedit, since I am going to take a wild guess and say that what you assumed would happen did happen, JavaRa isn't much help do to the fact it can't find anything it needs since they don't exit. Now I'm stuck on what to do next.
"If it doesn't, then I would try re-installing Java JRE 6.26 over the partial install you have now."
Explain to me why that looks like english but sounds alien to me...
I have no clue as to what you want me to do there, or now...
Please help me!!
Oh but on a side note, yes I vow to NEVER mess with the registry EVER again. :(
Thank you for helping I look forward and wait anxiously for your reply of helpful helpfulness...

Hello again,
Glad to hear you have learned your lesson. ;-)
Ok, now... the alien phrase:
"If it doesn't, then I would try re-installing Java JRE 6.26 over the partial install you have now."
Download Java JRE (Java Runt-time Environment) 6_26.
Install it.
This should install over the top of the one you broke by deleting parts from the registry.
Then try uninstalling it again. First using the regular un-install method, then, if that fails, JavaRA's uninstall feature.
Did that help de-martian it a bit? :-)
The only problem I foresee is there may be enough left of 6_26 that the installer will know it is already installed and refuse to overwrite it.
If that happens, let me ask you a simple question:
Is it currently causing you any problems, now that you have the new java version installed?
If not, then leave it alone. Removing it by hand would be something you would want a pro to do, and it would not be worth the money.
Only other solution would be to re-install windows from scratch to avoid the cost of professional registry un-screwing-up(tm.)
If you are still having problems with Java apps, then please provide whatever new errors you encounter, and we will see what can be done about this.
Good luck, and please let me know in feedback what comes of all this.
DN.
