Java uninstall of prior versions leaves behind a flag indicatingits still installed

Using SCCM I finaly have something that's working to reboot the pc > uninstall >reboot> install and reboot, all in our nightly maintance window.  Save for one issue...whenI go out to www.java.com/verify just as a check to see what Mr Oracle says is there, it says I still have 7u51 installed.  I click to uninstall but it can't because its not installed.  same with there little log file that says Java 7 Update 51 wasn't uninstalled because of the following error: This action is only valid for products that are currently installed. (error code is 1605).

 I think I am missing one little flag or something that is not getting removed.  I am not a script guy one of our guys fixed this up for me based on something I found out here.  Any ideas? jm

 my uninstall script is
