Check Task Manager, see if you have a java process.  If its a server, without anything else supposed to be there, you shouldn't find one.  if it is, the install failed.

For old school removal, stop the service manually, delete the install folder, if you feel like being complete, delete the service too: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/197876/how-do-i-uninstall-a-windows-service-if-the-files-does-not-exist-anymore

As for desktop menus, start>explore> locate and delete any offending menu items.
