For both Java 7u10 and Java 7u11, I had a great difficulty getting a good installation. After uninstalling the prior version, I had to search my hard drive for any remnants of Java and JRE that were not removed, being careful not to touch JavaScript. Then I had to edit my Windows registry to remove all keys and values for Java and JRE, again being careful not to touch either JavaScript or things like "objres". Only then was I able to get a good installation. It's damned annoying that, having cleaned everything for installing Java 7u10, I then had to do it again for Java 7u11. I would not bother even having Java, but I need it for a Web-design tool that I occasionally use. I also enjoy a Web game that uses it. I reported this problem to Oracle a year ago relative to Java 7u10. Yesterday, I updated that report for Java 7u11. -- David E. Ross <http://www.rossde.com/> Are taxes too high in the U.S.?
