Batch Script for automatically uninstalling all Java Runtime Environment (JRE) Instances on a PC

February 5, 2013 Leave a comment Go to comments

Below, you’ll find a Little helper script that fully automatically uninstalls all Java Runtime Environment (JRE) Instances from JRE 1.4 up to JRE 1.7 from the targeted machine. This might come in handy if you want to clean up a PC from old JRE junk Prior to deploying the most current Version.

  • You must run the Script with Admin rights.
  • The Script works with both x86 and x64 machines.
  • It recognizes the x86 and x64 Versions of the JRE up to JRE 1.6 Update 39 and JRE 1.7 Update 13.
  • You will Need at least Windows XP. You may can modify it to work with Windows 2000 when you use reg.exe from the Resource Kit and kill.exe from Sysinternals.

    Thanks! I was searching for this quite a time… Where did you get all the Java-IDs needed for uninstalling?
    Will you keep this script up-to-date?

      Hi, you can download all Java versions from the Oracle Website, so you’re able to check for the appropriate keys in the registry. However, if you take a closer look, you’ll see that they follow a logic so that you won’t have to install every single Java Version to find out the string. However, this bears the risk that not all sthe strings may be accurate. Kind regards!
