Basically this error

is saying that the install sees something it doesn't expect. It may be a file from a previous version or even a registry entry. First I would look on programs in control panel and remove all versions of java if any are listed. If there are older versions removing them should fix the problem. If not you probably have remnants of previous versions.

Not everyone needs JAVA. I suggest using JAVARA.

Sorry but your post is so short that I have to guess (too much.)

I see a lot of prior discussions on that.

Did you use JAVARA to remove it all? Since it's one of those well done topics, what's different from prior discussions?
