These comments are not really suitable as a support forum, I think, and you're not really giving any details about what you did either. What went well and what went wrong? Did all steps complete successfully?
By typing "history" in Terminal, can you verify you indeed executed all steps described in this hint, in the correct order? Does "java -version" show anything?

Apparantly the user was complaining that Java would not work in Safari and, while trying to fix the problem, the Help Desk deleted enough required files that Java was completely trashed. I used Updates 1, 2, adn 3, even though 1 was not a prerequisite for 2. Save these files in an accessible place -- you'll use them later.
Next, make sure you have the latest-available shrink wrap version of OS X it was Now, after this next step, you will be beyond the point of no return Open Terminal and run sudo pkgutil --packages. With the results from the above command, use the pkgutil --forget command to "forget" about all of the Java packages in the list.
