I am getting the above vulnerability audit starting a few days ago.  I do not have JRE 1.4.2 installed.  Verifying java version on my computer below:

C:\>java -version
java version "1.6.0_16"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_16-b01)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 14.2-b01, mixed mode, sharing)

Any idas?

The full audit message is below:

Can you check to see what regkeys you have here:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment\  ?

Thank you.

There were 4 sub keys, 1.4, 1.4.0, 1.6, 1.6.0.  The first 2 referred to a non-existant directory, C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_02, on my system.  The latter 2 referred to C:\Program Files\Java\jre6 which does exist.  I deleted the first two keys and reran the vulnerability scan.  That seems to have fixed the problem.  Thanks.  /V

Yep, a faulty uninstall will cause that. Its always recommended to do uninstall of software from Add/Remove Programs, otherwise registry keys and/or files will be left behind.

Glad you were able to address the issue and confirm neither the files were present and properly updating the regkeys.
