Downgrade install test on windows 98
Steps to Reproduce
1) Install 1.4.2_04b01 to default directory
2) Install 1.4.1_01 to default directory
3) Open a command prompt
3.1) Type java -version
java version "1.4.1_01"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.1_01-b01)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.1_01-b01, mixed mode)
This should be the most recent jdk installed, ie: 1.4.2_04.
3.2) Type java -fullversion
java full version "1.4.2_04-ea-b01"
This is correct as it is the most recent jdk.
4) Run Registry Editor
4.1) Registry keys point to downgrade JDK
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/JavaSoft/Java Development Kit/1.4
JavaHome = C:\j2sdk1.4.1_01
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/JavaSoft/Java Runtime Environment/1.4
JavaHome = C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.1_01
RuntimeLib=C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.1_01\bin\client\jvm.dll
JavaHome should point to most recent JDK, ie 1.4.2_04
5) Uninstall 1.4.2_04 using add/remove programs
The java plugin icon for 1.4.1_01 has been removed from the control
panel.
The java plugin registry keys do not appear to be affected,
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/JavaSoft/Java Plug-in
This only happens with Windows 98.
