A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
The JNLP file type is not associated on every install. If the .jnlp association is not there or corrupted then the install (uninstall/reinstall) does not repair it.

This may only occur on a machine with a number of JRE installed. It however should not matter. It should always 'refresh' the jnlp file type.

It's related to:

http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4718282.html

The problem still happens with 1.4.2_01.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Install 1.4.2_01
delete .jnlp file association
reinstall 1.4.2_01
try to run a jnlp file, it will not work

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
That a jnlp file will run
ACTUAL -
The file does not run and the user is asked which applicaiton they would like to use to run the jnlp file.

 
REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
Not sure yet. Maybe if I remove all the versions of the JRE/SDK then the installer will reset the jnlp file type.
