Dirty Install on Released JDK
-----------------------------
 
Reproducable on win2k-SP3 and winXP-SP1.

1. Install released JDK 1.3.1xx or JDK 1.4.0 xx into default directory.
2. Install JDK 1.4.1_04b1-nb into default directory.

3. Open command prompt and check java version strings :

C:\>java -version
java version "1.3.1_09"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.1_09-b01)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3.1_09-b01, mixed mode)

C:\>java -fullversion
java full version "1.3.1_09-b01"

C:\>which java
C:\WINNT\system32/java.exe

It appears that when 1.4.1_04b1-nb is installed onto a system where 1.3.1xx or 1.4.0xx already exists the java executable in the windows system directory does not get updated.

4. Run regedit

 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Development Kit
 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment

 Current Version 1.3 entries are present under Java Development Kit and Java
 Runtime Environment.

 This is incorrect the Current version should be "1.4" for both Java Devlopment
 Kit and Java Runtime Environment.

 I tested this with 1.4.1fcs, 1.4.1_02 and 1.4.1_03, I could not reproduce the bug here.
 This bug first came to light in 1.4.1_04b1-nb and so is a regression from
 1.4.1_03.
