Java in/install woes

Recently java updated itself to 7.9 or something but fell over at the actuall install stage, leaving me without java or more specifically minecraft the only reason I knowingly need java.
Web site says uninstall then reinstall via a full download rather than the fetch from net version.
Did that same error (typing on phone so not exactly sure what error), but when I uninstall the only java reference in add/remove programs or the vista equivalent, yet it remains haunting my pc.
I even sent the java folder to the recycle bin and tried un/installing again, no joy so I restored the folder to see if there was an uninstall package, nope.

Any ideas?
Didn't see an older version download
Vista os as stated

if you have the java icon in control panel, you can select somewhere in there which java version to use - so you can actually go back to the last working version in your system.
