SUGGESTED FIX webrev: http://sa.sfbay.sun.com/projects/deployment_data/6u10/6651964.0 UninstallJRE() and UninstallJavaRegSet() now passed a variable so it knows whether its called during JRE uninstall, JRE install, or JDK uninstall. MSIInstallJRE() calls UninstallJRE() with DURING_JRE_INSTALL. MSIUninstallJRE() calls UninstallJRE() with DURING_JRE_UNINSTALL. MSIUninstallSDK() calls UninstallJavaRegSet() with DURING_JDK_UNINSTALL. Only call RemoveInstalledFiles() when DURING_JRE_UNINSTALL. I've seen tests where msvcr71.dll could not be deleted by RemoveInstalledFiles() without sleeping 3 seconds after UninstallJQS() was called. Added logic to sleep and retry RemoveInstalledFiles() for up to 6 seconds before leaving the file and continuing on. java_install_reg.log may contain: -- Start in UninstallJavaRegSet -- Service stopped successfully JQS unregistered OK. -- RemoveInstalledFiles: DeleteFile(C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\msvcr71.dll) failed. (GetLastError=5) -- Retrying RemoveInstalledFiles -- End in UninstallJavaRegSet --
