Just download the latest one. Uninstall all previous versions & install the latest.

simple go to www.sun.com you will find the latest one

I havent tested this Installer, but sometimes, the New Installers will upgrade it for you

Sometimes the old J2se is necessary for the working of certain applications. I found out that the upload process of the Department Company affairs, New Delhi, requires the old one.

they end up filling C drive , sun should have cleared this mess by modifying installer to remove unnecessary older updates....
