Description:
If you click Control Panel -> Add/Remove programs -> Connector/J -> Click here for support information -> Repair, Windows cannot find the Connector/J installation.

If you click Control Panel -> Add/Remove programs -> Connector/J -> Change -> Next -> Repair, the repair process begins but soon runs up against the same difficulty as above: it looks for Conn/J info in a temp folder that was apparently used in the original installation---not where Conn/J install info exists.

How to repeat:
As above

Hi Peter and thanks for your report. On all of my Win boxes using c/J I do not have it in Add/Remove programs nor am I aware of c/J .msi that would allow that info to be shown. However, I'll ask build team if there is one I'm unaware of.
In the meantime, can you tell me what did you exactly did please?

I have no idea. I installed several versions of Connector/J on that box. I thought you'd like to know that at least one of them behaved that way.

Peter, can you please give me details on where did you find .msi or setup.exe for c/J???

information that was originally requested, please do so and change

Hi Peter,

There is no feedback since Jul 2008 and c/J 5.1.6 is too old, so I close this report as "Can't repeat".
Please, feel free to reopen it if the problem still exists with current driver versions.
