6ux plug-in does not work with Chrome browser after removing fx runtime

XMLWordPrintable

      After removing JavaFX runtime from the system, Chrome users can not use jre 6ux to load any regular java applet

      *** Tested Configurations:

      - OS: x86 XP, Vista
      - Browser: Chrome latest 13.x
      - jre: 6u27 / 6u28
      - fx runtime: latest fx-b44 promotion


      *** Steps to reproduce:

      0) Use the clean image / or clean up all related java, javafx regkeys on the system
      1) Install 6u27
      2) Install FX runtime-b44 promotion:
      http://jre.us.oracle.com/java/re/javafx/2.0/promoted/all/b44/bundles/windows-i586/javafx-2_0-beta-b44-windows-i586-01_sep_2011.exe
      3) Check that Java Deployment Toolkit 7.0.0.255 (version 10.0.1.255) registered with Chrome at
      C:\Program Files\Oracle\JavaFX Runtime 2.0\bin\npDeployJava1.dll

      4) Using Chrome to invoke any regular java applet and it should load fine (using Java Plug-in 10.0.1.255/ JRE 1.6.0_27. Everything is working as expected.
      5) Remove FX Runtime
      6) Check that DT is now registered with Chrome at C:\WINDOWS\System32\npDeployJava1.dll
      7) Chrome no longer recognizes 6u27 plug-in anymore.

      Load the same applet in step #4 and if Chrome reports plug-in missing and the applet does not load, then the issue is reproducible

      The issue does not happen with IE or FF
