      STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
      Install JRE 7u25 in STATIC Mode
      Install JRE 7u45 in STATIC Mode

      EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
      EXPECTED -
      I really want to used two versions of JRE 7 on workstation
        - On version for browsing (Intenet Explorer)
        - On version version for Business Application
      ACTUAL -
      If you install a version higher than the JRE on workstation, it takes over.
      The installation is in STATIC Mode.

      • Is it normal when installing two versions in STATIC Mode, the latest version will delete keys, modifies and replaces other files?
      • Normally the STATIC mode is for cohabite a multiple versions of JRE7.
      • What must we do to avoid this problem when installing a version higher than JRE found on the computer?

      Thank you for your reply
