      In 1.1, I could call JNI_CreateJavaVM, and the only thing
      that was required for it to work was to have javai.dll
      in the PATH somewhere.

      In 1.2, JNI_CreateJavaVM will only work if the jvm.dll that
      is loaded matches the registry entry:
             HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/JavaSoft/
               Java Runtime Environment/1.2/RuntimeLib

      This is fine if my users have 1.2 installed. But what if
      my users are still using 1.1? The way you have this set up,
      I cannot deliver a program which is backwards compatible
      with 1.1. I am going to have to force my 1.1 users
      to install the 1.2 JRE.

      Please provide some kind of patch.

      Thanks
