I found the attached script (uninstall_java.cmd) which seems to do a good job
of uninstalling all previous versions of Java in a more efficient way.
I modified it a bit so I could more easily reuse if for other apps such as
Adobe Reader (uninstall_reader.cmd).

WPKG client is run when the computer is shutdown, so iexplore and firefox are
(should?) be down, I use:
REM Stop Quick Starter service if any
net STOP JavaQuickStarterService 2> NUL > NUL
echo Disable "Java Quick Starter"
"%ProgramFiles%\Java\jre6\bin\jqs.exe" -unregister
Before running msiexec calls...
I'll test the output redirections to see if there is an improvement, and then
add the taskkill.
I'll finally understand what's happenning ;-)
Thanks.
