7u25
FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
Java 7 upgrade 21 is the last version that was on the PC. After Java 7 update 25 is executed, while there is java files remaining there is no Java environment.
ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Windows ver 7 Enterprise 32-bit
EXTRA RELEVANT SYSTEM CONFIGURATION :
Dell Optiplex 9010
4 Gigs of RAM
500 Meg HDD.
A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
During the upgrade process when HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MozillaPlugins\@java.com/JavaPlugin,version=10.25.2 subkey MimeTypes starts to be populated with version number in excess of maximum. It continues to write to the registry until such time as the system collapses. ProcessMonitor shows that deploy.dll is still attempting to write to the registry even when it can no longer do so.
This results in C:\Windows\system32\config\SOFTWARE typically exceeding 670Megs in size. The result of this is that the OS runs slow, services fail. If the install is allowed to run for long enough then log in times on fast hardware exceed 10 minutes and various services fail (Windows Module Installation for example). Sometimes the registry has become so large the user profile can no longer be loaded.
Processmonitoring and file size timing we currently have the registry growing by 10k every 5 seconds roughly until the system overloads.
When you can finally get back into the system there is no Java of any version present in Programs. (Though files for 25 still exist in " \Program files\Java " )
REGRESSION. Last worked in version 7u21
STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Install basic OS.
Install Java 7 upgrade 21.
Install Java 7 upgrade 25.
EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
For the upgrade to succeed. To have a working computer at the end.
ACTUAL -
Over 9 million lines (when extracted to txt) in the Mimetype registry subkey.
ERROR MESSAGES/STACK TRACES THAT OCCUR :
Only windows error messages as a result of failed services.
REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
---------- BEGIN SOURCE ----------
Dowload Java 7 upgrade 25 build 17 standalone install and test.
---------- END SOURCE ----------
CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
We have nothing but 100+ computers in a smoking pile. At the moment we simply have to rebuild the PC's. Neither system restore or Startup repair are able to cope with the mess. Attempts to simply delete the offending registry key result in the PC's being unable to be used anymore.
