Java version 7 update 6

So I have Java version 7, update 5. Trying to update to 6 and keep running into a problem. It's giving me an error saying that it can't find this file:

jre1.7.0_05-c.msi

I searched my entire computer, it's not there. And I can't do the update without it evidently, I tried searching the Java site and get nowhere. I tried doing a google search again with nothing with the exception of this forum being in the search results. lol

Try uninstalling java then re-installing it.

I'm apprehensive about doing this. The last time when I upgraded from Java 6 to Java 7, it caused all kinds of problems and 6 wouldn't uninstall all the way, making it impossible to properly install 7. I had to have a family member who's more knowledgeable over here to fix it cause I was unable to do it on my own, though I tried.

Hi Java is having some security issues right now, if you can live without it for a while I would. I uninstalled mine temporarily today. I didn't have any problem uninstalling it in the normal way.

Mike may be right, but I don't have any knowledge.

But the .msi file is the installer, is it not? And the installer for update 5, probably....

I don't even have Java installed on my system, but there is probably an installer folder where the installer files are archived.

Hi

Disabling JAVA did'n't work.
It was what caused the problems with my post above and made other services not work.
I couldn't upload to my online image storage etc.

So I had to relent and reinstall it to get my browser to work correctly.

But I didn't have any trouble reinstalling it.

Helo Queina, to Windows 7 Forums,

You should be able to remove it via Add/Remove Programs from the Control Panel. Remove anything that says Java and/or Oracle.
The Java folder is located in C:/Program Files/Oracle
The Java Control Applet ls located in Control Panel/Programs

Hope this helps

The security problem of Java 7 is / was real, TA12-240A: Oracle Java 7 Security Manager Bypass Vulnerability

I first read about it in my morning paper, yesterday. Just minutes ago, I noticed the problem has been solved with Java 7.7. Updating to that should bring you back to your comfort. Altogether, the security breach was limited, in Finland it only concerned one Bank, a couple of Ticket sellers - a more serious thing was Open Office... this time the gap included more than Microsoft, it also devoured Mac and Linux. Getting heavier?

But 7.7 should be safe. Until the next tsunami comes...

OK, I'm having the same problem and found this thread. I can't update Java, nor can I uninstall it, because each process requires the jre1.7.0_05.msi file, which I don't seem to have. And, unfortunately, I need it for work. Any suggestions on how to start over again with this )^%# plugin?

How do I uninstall Java on my Windows computer ?

If these instructions do not work, consider Revo Uninstaller to rid of it completely from the registry and file system. You should be able to run a trial of the software to accomplish this one task.
