I have a batch script that attempts to purge java from your system, and cleanly install whatever version you specify, just place the scripts in the same directory as the JRE installers downloaded from here:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html and update the variables at the top to match whatever version you are installing. This also works when installing from network shares.
install-java.bat:
