      When customers are installing 2 versions of Java Runtime Environment onto
      their Vista machines, 1.6update10final and 1.5update14 that they want and
      set JRE 1.6update10final as the default JRE for IE7 and have 1.5update14
      installed for legacy systems.

      The issue is that if install 1.6update10final AFTER 1.5update14 then
      everything looks fine.

      But if install 1.6update10final BEFORE 1.5update14 then on launching IE7 they will
      be prompted for a username and admin password by UAC of Vista.

      1.5update14 is configured to not set it as default for IE7 and if cancel that UAC
      prompt and continue to the java test page www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml
      then it does show that 1.6update10final is being used to run the test applet
      (as we want). However this UAC continues to appear until an admin password is
      provided.

      This is a global corporate deployment so disabling UAC is not an option.
