      Steps to reproduce:
      1) Install JDK 1.4.2_05(with JRE)
      2) Install Tiger JDK(With JRE) B57
      3) Check value of Registry Value Data "Frequency" in
         "HKLM\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Update\Policy" registry key
         value it shows is: 17367040 (decimal)
      4) Now uninstall 1.4.2_05(With JRE) and see the above value
         it remain unchanged i.e 17367040 (decimal)

         While if no JDK/JRE is installed on system and directly
         tiger B57 JDK(With JRE) is installed than the
         "Frequency" value is 127 (decimal)
      So installation of tiger should override this value to
      the one which tiger product need or tiger installer sets
      originally.
      Because of this strange behaviour FAIT tests which
      1st install 1.4.2_05 and than install 1.5.0 and than
      go and verify registry are failing as they expect this
      value to be equivalent to what 1.5.0 installer sets when
      there is no jdk/jre on system.
