      JRE silent uninstall is not removing/deleting following registry entrie/key

      HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Update\Policy
      How to reproduce

      1.) Install jre 6u10 in normal mode

      2.) Uninstall jre 6u10 in normal mode

      Observe registry path HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft. All are removed

      3.) Install jre 6u10 in normal mode

      4.) uninstall jre 6u10 in silent mode

        MsiExec.exe /q /X{26A24AE4-039D-4CA4-87B4-2F84A32160FF}

      Observe registry path HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft. "\Java Update\Policy" still remains in the registry.

      The uninstall should clean all the registry in silent mode as well. This could lead to an escaltion if not resolved.
