      It is noticed on some x86 XP/ IE 8 machines that java plug-in is not registered after install FX 2.1 runtime
      (reproducible on some machines where FX 2.1 plugin is NOT registered with IE at all)

      *** Tested Configurations:
      - OS: x86 XP machines
      - Browser: IE 8
      - jre 6u31 fcs
      - javafx runtime 2.1-b13

      *** Steps to reproduce:
      0) No jre/fx runtime install
      1) Install jre 6u31 -fcs (b05)
      2) Use IE browser to load a traditional applet
      e.g http://0-360.com/gallery.asp (click on any view java virtual tour to launch)

      As expected, the applet will load using Java Plug--in 6u31

      3) Install javafx runtime 2.1-b13
      4) Repeat step#2

      If the applet fails to load then the issue is reproducible. There is no problem with Firefox or Chrome
      It appears the FX 2.1 plug-in jp2iexp.dll is not registered with IE and also somehow, the 6u31 plug-in is not picked up by IE

      5) Uninstall FX 2.1-b13
      6) Repeat step#2 and the applet will load

      The problem occurred in step#4
