we use this at the start of our install command:
         <!-- first thing is to remove *any* version of Java, whatever 
version, the ' are because we need single quotes (') there -->
         <install cmd='wmic product where "Name like 'Java%'" 
call uninstall /nointeractive' >
             <exit code='any' />
         </install>

it seems to work so far & removes Java7 off the machine prior to the 
Java8 install as well.
