Platform: Windows 32-bit
Build : J2SE 1.4.2 Mantis b-03
Bundle: j2re.exe bundle
Location : /java/re/jdk/1.4.2/promoted/beta/b03/bundles/windows-i586
Test Case: Silent Install in clean machine

reproduced in : Win XP-pro, XP-Home, Win2000

Steps to reproduce:
1. Silent install the j2re bundle with the following command
 c:\>j2re-1_4_2-beta-windows-i586.exe /s /v"/qn IEXPLORER=1 NETSCAPE6=1"

2. Even though args have been passed inorder to register the plugin with NS6 and IE, the Installer does not register.

3. The problem results in the following registry keys being either incorrect or absent.
 
THE FOLLOWING 2 KEYS HAVE INCORRECT VALUES:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Plug-in\1.4.2]
"JavaHome"="C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2"
"UseJava2IExplorer"=dword:00000000


[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components\{08B0E5C0-4FCB-11CF-AAA5-00401C608500}]
@="Microsoft VM"
"ComponentID"="JAVAVM"
"IsInstalled"=dword:00000001
"KeyFileName"="C:\WINDOWS\System32\msjava.dll"
"Version"="5,0,3802,0"
"Locale"="EN"


FOLLOWING KEYS ARE MISSING:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{08B0E5C0-4FCB-11CF-AAA5-00401C608501}\TreatAs\

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\AdvancedOptions\JAVA_SUN
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\AdvancedOptions\JAVA_SUN\SELECT
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Extensions\{08B0E5C0-4FCB-11CF-AAA5-00401C608501}
4. To workaround this problem, the user can register Netscape 6 through the plugin control panel.
But, when IE is registered in the control panel, it gives the following error message:
"Unable to change browser settings.
Please check if you have sufficient permissions to change system settings."

As a result, attempts to register IE through control panel fail.

5. When performing a silent install with "/qn IEXPLORER=0 NETSCAPE6=0", the j2re installer registers with both IE and Netscape 6.
This is not the expected behaviour. When passing '0' as the argument, the installer should not register with the browser.
