What does that mean?
no log was created or you didn't find any useful information in the log why it fails?

No log was created. Do you know if I can use my iPod to patch the corrupted files by putting java on my iPod? Or.. since java's alread written to my registry.. can I use my use the java on my iPod (6 update 13 [OS:Windows]) as my default java? because that may very well fix my problem entirely.

Lmao.. via a dock.. it would've worked but.. I searched my registry and "Java" doesn't exist.. and it's meant to.. but this wednesday I'm buying a scandisk flashdrive with U3 (Aka.. Legendary freaking magic) software on it.. so I'll be able to use java wherever I want.. [8D].
So yeah, tysvm for your help(?) AngelD.. cya around some other time

Run the microsoft MSI Cleanup Utility and remove traces there... the install should then work.

you might want to look into the machine's eventlog for a bit more information on the error. there should be an entry providing you with, if nothing else, the exact exit code for the msi uninstall.
Another option is to lookup the uninstallstring for the product in the registry (HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\<productcode>) and run this manually, adding a parameter \L*V <path to log file>. This will give you an extensive log of the uninstall.
Hope this helps,
PJ

You are right, but if you can get ahold of the tool, it gets the job done. Quite a shame they aren't still making it available.

you can delete it from registry
the path is HKLM>software>Microsoft>Windows>current version>UNINSTALL and skeep scroll down untill you see the Java package or you do a search and delete it
thats it its off the pc

After running the Microsoft cleanup The install went flawlessly. Prior to that I spent hours with no results.
