Error 1723 and Java Fatal Errors

[NickyKim]

(The registry refers to a nonexistent Java Runtime Environment installation or the runtime is corrupted.

The system cannot find the path specified.)

I get a message like this when I try to open minecraft, and does not work in the browser too. I have identified the problem as being a corrupted Java version 6 update 29 that cannot be uninstalled.  I have uninstalled all other java files and minecraft files.
I have searched through the Internet looking for answers, but either they don't apply, or too complicated for a normal everyday computer user like me to understand at all. (I have no knowledge of coding and can only do the Graphical stuff)  So who can help me in an easy way?? I can't play minecraft at all at the moment because of this D: Really frantic right now.

Computer specs:
Windows 7 Home Premium
Procesor: Intel (R) Pentium (R) CPU B940 @ 2.00GHz 2.00 GHz
RAM : 4.00 GB
System type: 64-bit Operating System

open start and search for msconfig. look in startup and services for java or anything related to. dont disable microsoft services.

restart the machine.

manually remove all folders related to java in program(x32), program, programdata, appdata

restart,

reinstall.

hopefully that will fix it.

there are registries that you can see if you can do.

Tried all to the best of my knowledge... either they don't work, or I'm not understanding the instructions...
BTW, when I try to uninstall this message appears:
Error 1723. There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A DLL required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor.
And when I try to open minecraft:
This application requires a Java Runtime Environment 1.5.0
And when I downloaded the 1.5.0 it still does not work...
What to do.. what to do..

You might have gotten a trojan in one of the Java files.

also make a batch file with the following

Code Select Expand

reg query hklm\software\classes\installer\products /f "java(tm) 6" /s | find "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE" > deljava.txt
for /f "tokens=* delims= " %%a in (deljava.txt) do reg delete %%a /f
del deljava.txt
reg delete "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment" /f
reg delete "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\wow6432node\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment" /f

keep in mind that if this breaks your computer i am not held liable for it. this code is just deleting local reg's and files related to java. if it works it should allow you to reinstall/uninstall java. be sure you restart the computer.

Does not work - going to call a techie I know over if possible

[Skitty]

did you make the batch, run it, restart, try to reinstall/uninstall?

because if this didnt work its just easier to reinstall the os on the machine.
