Customer is modifying their HTML so that IE will recognize a new JRE is
needed for the Java Plugin and query the users to download the new binary
thus overwriting the default JRE, but they are running into the following
problem:

CUSTOMER DESCRIPTION
---------------------

If we specify "#Version=1,2,2,6" for MS IE, then it WILL force a
download/install of the JRE - which is what we want, of course - to make sure
that they overlay their 1.2.2-001 JRE with the 1.2.2-006 JRE.

However - it does this EVERY time the web page is accessed!

Apparently there is nothing in the install to match up with the specified
"1,2,2,6" version?

The plug-in documentation is not clear at all about how this is supposed to be
optioned/updated and the examples given are self-inconsistent.

If we change it back to "#Version=1,2,2,0" then it does NOT force the
download/install - but instead just uses what's there - which is NOT what we
want either.

So - the scope of this question is now broadened beyond Netscape Navigator to
now include Microsoft Internet Explorer as well.

A JPI engineer mentioned that this could be caused by the versioning of
the beans.ocx binary. We checked the file for JDK1.2.2._006 and the version
was 1,2,2,0. The expected versioning should be 1,2,2,6 .
