We plan to remove the Host Porting Interface (HPI) from JDK 7 very soon (see http://ccc.sfbay.sun.com/6993732).

It appears that the Java Quick Starter attempts to load/prefetch the HPI. In jqs.conf we see the following lines:

  refreshlib "${JAVA_HOME}\bin\hpi.dll"

  [hpi.dll]
  config: refreshlib "${JAVA_HOME}\bin\hpi.dll"
  00000000-00007000

This bug is submitted to verify that removing HPI.DLL will not cause problems for the deployment area. If it does cause problems then the reference to HPI.DLL needs to be removed.
