The beta/rc releases of 1.4.0 is being installed in the same directory
as the FCS release is suppose to get into (e.g., C:\Program Files\JavaSoft\JRE\1.4.0\) and is also being setup with the same registry
keys. This is not a goo idea!
The already fragil JRE sharing mechanism is becomming more fragil since
applications that just wants to pick up an already installed JRE - now
have to check if that JRE is, in fact, the FCS release.
The non-FCS release should be put into ...\JavaSoft\JRE\1.4.0-beta\ or
the like, and the registry keys should also reflect that.
