    common folder. So that the installer will not prompt for the new CD during installation.
    ii. JDK is available in the folder wherein the bin folder exists.
    iii. When you uninstall a software which is not having the entry in the 
    ‘Program and Features’, You need to delete that package/folder and clean the 
    related component. Fix registry issues or values with ‘CCleaner’. If issues remains
    persisting, go Registry Editor by typing the command ‘regedit’, manually clean the 
    component entry. But You need to backup the changes before changing the Registry.
