I want to uninstall my Java EE 6 SDK on my windows 7 machine, but when I run the included uninstall program, I get the following error.

Error: Could not find the required version of the Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment in'(null)'. 

Followed by...

This application needs version 1.6 or higher of the Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment

How to fix this? Do i have to install the java 2 runtime environment just to uninstall my Java EE 6 SDK?

Make sure you have both the 32 and 64 bits version of JRE installed. The Java EE x64 installer won't work without the 32 bits JRE installation.
