1176729 2011-02-10 02:53:00 I need some advise, don’t really understand what I’ve got installed.
Yesterday Java reminder come up, thought was just an update, glanced breathily and clicked install.
Then it came up “Installing 1.6.0-23”, I did cancel but nothing happened, it continued and finished “setup progess”. When I next reboot it will Install.
I don’t understand why, as looking at my add ons I already (gulp) have 2 copies. Why would it not recognise those and not just be an update.

Seems to be lots of duplicates.
Should I let the other install (not that I know how to stop it), then delete some of them, which ones

1176730 2011-02-10 02:57:00 See how many versions are installed in add/remove / programs and features.

If theres more than 1 and it doesnt say Java 6 update 23. Uninstall them. You should only have 1 version of java installed (the latest)

1176731 2011-02-10 04:04:00 Under "Uninstall or change programs theres only 1.
Java (TM) 6 Update 23 installed 16/9/09 (it says its version 6.0-23 b05
Updates is ticked, says it last ran 8 Feb 2011.
So no idea what all those bits are under Add ons

1176732 2011-02-10 04:08:00 I wouldnt worry about it, if theres only 1 version installed. Theyre probably older versions Speedy Gonzales (78)
1176733 2011-02-10 04:35:00 I'm glad I read this thread cos I checked Add/Remove Programs and no Java. I went to the website and clicked Verify Version just to make sure and Java definitely not on my computer. It used to be so I don't know what happened. I've installed Java 6 update 23. Thanks Speedy. bellbird (6169)
1176734 2011-02-10 04:36:00 Sweet :) Speedy Gonzales (78)
1176735 2011-02-10 05:14:00 Glad my question was useful to someone else.
Will reboot soon and see what goes and what installs
Ta Speedy.

1176737 2011-02-10 06:36:00 Yes thank you Speedy I used to see your advice HJT users to uninstall older versions of Java and often wondered about my own situation, as I got many updates and wasn't too sure if the old versions were discarded. But it was good, and even better I now how it works thanks again. PPp (9511)
