Bug Description:
 Setup degression due to new InstallShield Engine.

 Not happy with the Win32 Setup Routine. There is a certain degression
 since switching to the new InstallShield Engine.

 - De-installing the JDK and/or JRE also removes files in the JDK tree that
   had been added manually after installation. This causes loss of data and
   specially concerns the <JRE>/lib/ext directory. Extensions manually added
   to the JDK/JRE get lost.

 - Root directory cannot be selected during installation
   (bug#4796486)

 - The overall installation process has got slower than before.
   (bug#4774743)

Steps to Reproduce (be specific):
 Install/De-Install JDK/JRE
