      This was supposed to filed earlier after having it confirmed with Steve bohne and Bill Harnois
      See Here :- http://javasoft4.india/Java_Install/bugs/jaws_registry_key_mail.txt

      1.Install JDK/JRE build 83 (snapshots shown are of installed JRE )

      Java Web Start leaves an empty Key.
      This key should be removed and installer should clean all the registry entries including empty values
