Title: Java Deployment Toolkit ??????
Post by: Andyonline on July 20, 2012, 08:39:43 PM: Hi I was just have a browse around my Winpatrol tabs and noticed I had Java Deployment Toolkit installed. I had in fact uninstalled Java from my PC but the Deployment Toolkit is still there somewhere on my PC.

Also when I run msconfig, there is is a SunJava update in the startup entries but its disabled.

I dont think I have a need for Java as it hasnt presented any problems thus far since uninstalling so can someone advise either how to remove the above or whether Java should be installed again.

I think the reason I uninstalled it previously was to mimimise security issues

Any comments gratefully received.

Thanks

Andy

I have JAVA installed and I don't see any instance of the Java Deployment Toolkit.

The uninstall clearly didn't do the job at the very least it shouldn't leave a disabled startup entry it should remove it. Check out this JAVA Removal tool, http://sourceforge.net/projects/javara/ (http://sourceforge.net/projects/javara/).

Just wondering if this has something to do with Macrium Reflect which required a large file of over 1 gig to download to do a pe restore disc ?

You can check for the presence of the actual file deployjava.dll, but if you have uninstalled JAVA I would have though that too would have been removed, so you need to investigate the java removal tool that I mentioned javara to get rid of remnants..
