You might be running into productregistry deadlock issue - to check if
that's the case and how to get rid of it take a look at second
bulletpoint in this document:
http://wiki.java.net/bin/view/Projects/WinHang
If it doesn't go away let me know and I'll provide manual uninstallation
steps (they are rather tedious, so please check for productregistry
issue first)...
Thanks,
