That's right. You need to install Java SE from http://www.java.com in order to be able to run the Java EE (un)installer. It's written in Java, so it needs at least a JVM.

Make sure you have both the 32 and 64 bits version of JRE installed. The Java EE x64 installer won't work without the 32 bits JRE installation.

I got the same problem. By installing the program with following parameters it worked like charm.
where D:Program FilesJavajdk1.7.0_06 is the folder I have installed JDK 7 in my system.

So assuming you're uninstalling from the uninstaller in the glassfish directory. You can specify the uninstaller with your JAVA_HOME environment variable in the command line:

I have got all these problems and more, and I found something really simple. All that you have to do is erase Eclipse, go to Eclipse and download the 32-bit Galileo; that works pretty good. You don't need to copy to change a path or anything else.

I installed the JRE 7 u 45 for Windows 7 (x64 version), then was able to install the 64-bit version of Java EE 7 (x64 version) by using the command line below. Just update the j parameter to point to the java runtime directory on your system:

I had uninstalled both 32-bit Java (C:Program Files (x86)Java...) and 64-bit(C:Program FilesJava...), but for some reason it left behind a java folder (C:Program FilesJava...).ONce I manually deleted that folder, the error went away.

I wanted to install the JDK, but when I try to, it says:
This software has already been installed on your computer. Would you like to reinstall it?
I press yes.
Preparing to remove...
Then after that it says...
Please wait while Windows configures Java SE Development Kit 7 update 45
After that I get an error:
But the
C:WindowsInstaller
directory doesn’t exist! :(I've narrowed it down to me deleting the files for the JDK (
ScottC:Program FilesJavajdk
) and apparently those files have a file that the Java installer needs to uninstall it. Please tell me how to thoroughly delete all the files for the JDK so I can install it again! Or another way!17.2k1111 gold badges4646 silver badges9292 bronze badges

Delete the entire C:/Program Files/Java directory, download Java SE 7u45 JDK from here:
and run it to install. Should work. The download is the JRE and JDK in one, so you don't have to install the jre seperatly.

Please be sure you have enabled invisible directorys. *C:WindowsInstaller* is an invisible directory. You could copy/paste it in your address box.
The solution for you should be the following.
- Open the registry editor (regedit.exe)
- Go to*HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTInstallerProducts*
- Search for Java Development Kit.
- Get MSIZap! Can be found here http://nerdoftherings.net/wp/?p=66
- Get the ProductCode out of the Transforms Value. The ProductCode starts and ends with {}. I But be careful you need the complete product code!
- Open a command line an run MSIZap with the following paratemers:MsiZap.exe GPSTW! {your-product-code}
- Try to install the new JDK.
