I migrated a user to a new computer using this software called Laplink, that was awesome and saved me a couple hours of time!! However, what I found out a few days later was that for some reason all the Java registry entries were transferred to the new machine so it thought that Java was already installed!
So I say to myself, "No problem, let's just go reinstall it!" However, when you try to install Java it checks for registry entries to see if it's already installed and because it thought that it was, it would not run the installer again!
I tried installing different versions of Java and those would work (i.e. install), but they would not run in the browser because there were still registry entries in there stating that the newer version was installed!
Well, after 2 hours of messing with uninstaller tools and registry cleaners, a simple batch file by this awesome specimen of humanity worked in about 30 seconds!
Thanks for putting this together, you rock!
