A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Test condition :
⢠Workstation in Windows Seven 64bit , any version of Java is present
⢠Installing the JRE 7u25 in STATIC mode
⢠And installation the JRE 7u45 in STATIC mode

Thank you for your reply
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
