    Description

      A DESCRIPTION OF THE Bug :
      Normally I am logged in to vista as standard user but not as admin.

      Every time Java reports that an update is available, I am asked for the admin password of my system.

      If it is given, update procedure starts but is aborted because " download of installation files " fails.
      When logged in as admin, download and update are successful.

      EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
      EXPECTED -
      either display a message to login as admin before updating java (brrr, then we don't need standard users)

      or:

      Store the temporary download files anywhere but NOT in the admin area where a standard user has no rights!
