In calling for the uninstaller to use the 32-bit JRE, the configuration that I tried to execute failed to execute:
a) Set the PATH environment variable to the 32-bit JRE b) Edit the Windows registry in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ JavaSoft \ Java Runtime Environment \ 1.6 to point to the 32-bit JRE.
In my last attempt, I renamed \ Program Files \ Java to Java2, and the uninstaller must have searched for \ Program Files (x86) \ Java, a 32-bit JRE and deleted the job.
Seriously, Sun / Oracle. Check out your products.
