Build : 1.6.0-ea-b34
Location : /java/re/jdk/1.6.0/latest/bundles/windows-i586
Bundle : jdk-6_0-ea-windows-i586.exe, jre-6_0-ea-windows-i586.exe
Platform : Windows

How to reproduce:
1. Install jdk1.6.0 or jre1.6.0 on tested platform
Check the registry
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Web Start\...]
All dirs has the same entry:
"Home"="C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0\bin"

2. Install any version of 1.4.2_0x
The latest version at http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/download.html is 1.4.2_08
or from /java/re/jdk/1.4.2_0x/latest/bundles/windows-i586
Check the registry
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Web Start\...]
Now all dirs (except 1.6.0) are overwrited to
"Home"="C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2_08\javaws"

3. Uninstall 1.4.2_08 and check the registry again for [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Web Start\...]
Nothing has been changed, all dirs remain the same as above:
"Home"="C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2_08\javaws" (except 1.6.0)

The registry keys for JWS are NOT overwrited while downgrade 1.6.0 to
1.5.0_02, all dirs has the same entry: "Home"="C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0\bin"

Expected result:
The registry entries for Java Web Start should not be changed after downgrade 1.6.0 to 1.4.2_0x.
