Administrator Tarun Posted April 16, 2008 Administrator Posted April 16, 2008 When you click the "Remove Older Versions" button, does this run a silent uninstall command line switch or what method does it use?
Prm753 Posted April 16, 2008 Posted April 16, 2008 When you click the "Remove Older Versions" button, does this run a silent uninstall command line switch or what method does it use? No, it does not use the JRE un-installer at all. I can add that, but I believe my way is a bit faster. It is a method that compares folder names and removes the older versions. A message box will pop up and tell you which folders were removed. :hmm:
greenknight Posted April 16, 2008 Posted April 16, 2008 I'd say that's a good thing, since the JRE uninstaller doesn't work very well. I've had it fail completely, and even when it succeeds it leaves a lot of junk behind.
Administrator Tarun Posted April 16, 2008 Author Administrator Posted April 16, 2008 I would think it would be best to try and do a proper uninstall first, then remove all other traces. Much like what they suggest is done with Norton/Symantec products (last I read).
greenknight Posted April 17, 2008 Posted April 17, 2008 I tried it without running the uninstaller first, found I still needed to run the uninstaller as update 5 was still in the add/remove list. So apparently you're right, though it still worked the other way around.

That's good to hear, it'll be a time saver to be able to completely remove the old Java versions with JavaRa.
Guest Antonio Posted May 6, 2008 Posted May 6, 2008 Just wonder if I can run JavaRa silently to remove every old java from a machine? Antonio

I did the same thing as Prm753, ran JavaRa version 1.08 yesterday without running the uninstaller that came with Java and found that i still had to go into add/remove to remove java 6 update6 from the list.
fredvries Posted July 9, 2008 Posted July 9, 2008 Expect JavaRa 1.09 to be released around the coming weekend. We hope to have addressed several small problems in that release :)
