Removing JRE 7 from Windows 7 Professional

Using the Windows Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs, I right mouse click an run uninstall of Oracle Java JRE

I get the error:

The programs listed are currently using Java. They must be closed so that Java files can be updated.

…java.exe

What I did was give up as the installer can’t uninstall and I re-installed again the JRE into

C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7

For some reason once C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7 is used you can’t uninstall. What a pain! Come on Oracle what’s going on here?

I guess the only real ay is to remove manually, then remove all registry entries. Maybe best to look for a Windows uninstaller tool as manual registry manipulation is dangerous.
