Deleting Install Files
XP sp3
Java has a bunch of update folders in my Programs folder. The jrel.n.0_nn contain copies of what appear to be duplicate bin and lib folders. My add/remove dialog shows several updates to Java and Jave runtime environment. It would be nice if Java cleaned up after itself when installing updates. However, I am reluctant to delete the apparent redundancy. Any advice for cleaning up things? Thanks Mike

Jave updates do not remove earlier versions in order to mainatin
compatibility of java apps that may have been written using an earlier version. You can uninstall the earlier version updates, provided you have no java apps that are going to baulk, I've never actually experienced an issue with early java apps not liking the latest version of Java PS Dont delete the program/ Java entries, use Add/Remove dialogue "MikeV06" wrote in message ...

I have a lot of Java things installed: J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 10 Java 2 Runtime Environment, SE V1.4.2_16 Java 2 SDK, SE V1.4.2_16 Java 6 Update 12 Java SE Runtime Environment Update 1 Hopefully it will not install anything still needed. Then download and install the latest version: Java Runtime ~16 MB http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp I may not need this since it is jre v6 u12. Thanks Mike
