Uninstall Java Auto Updater 2.1.9.5 (Java 7 Update 21)
Previous to this version I used to script the removal of the updater with "msiexec /qn /x {4A03706F-666A-4037-7777-5F2748764D10}". Does anyone know the ID for Java 7 Update 21 auto Updater version 2.1.9.5 ?

It comes off when you uninstall Java 7 update 21. At least mine does when I do it through control panel. - Kdebiasse 11 years ago

According to the registry keys that software code is correct.
Normally the uninstall /x sting matches the hive keyset name, but this software has none.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{4A03706F-666A-4037-7777-5F2748764D10}]
"DisplayVersion"="2.1.9.5"
"Publisher"="Sun Microsystems, Inc."
"DisplayName"="Java Auto Updater"
this is for j7u21 see how the keyset matches the uninstall string
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{26A24AE4-039D-4CA4-87B4-2F83217017FF}]
"DisplayVersion"="7.0.210"
"Publisher"="Oracle"
"DisplayName"="Java 7 Update 21"

Yes, it appears that string still works, just failed on my test subset of PC's for some reason which I will look into, but it worked fine for others. Thanks for your help, pointed me in the right direction. - KiwiJJ 11 years ago
