      Java icon is not removed from windows Control Panel if windows Control Panel is opened during un-installation of jre on win98 only.

      Steps to Reproduce :
      --------------------
      1. Install the latest version of jre from /net/jre.sfbay/p/v08/jdk/6.0/ea/b19/bundles/windows-i586
      2. Leave the windows Control Panel open and uninstall jre 1.6.0

      Expected result:
      Java icon is removed from the windows Control Panel

      Actual result:
      Java icon left behind in the windows Control Panel, but not functional
      "The system cannot find the registry key specified
      HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Invironment\1.6.0"

      It's not a regression, this problem seen from 1.6.0_b01

      NOTE*
      The system doesn't ask for a reboot after install and uninstall.
      It will only happen in the situation where a user has opened the windows Control Panel during un-installation and got removed if it's closed.
      But, the more common user's scenario is to keep the windows Control Panel open to bring up Add/Remove Programs window and then un-install any programs from the system.
