      Description

        FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
        jre1.5.0_15, jre1.6.0_03 and jre1.6.0_05

        ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
        Windows Vista Pro

        A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
        javaws should not try a download of the JRE taking into account that at least 3 JDK/JRE versions are matching the requirement on the host (jdk1.6.0_03,jre1.6.0_03 and jre1.6.0_05)

        Invoking javaws from IE link works properly and no JRE download is trigered.

        Invoking javaws from the desktop icon (installed by the jnlp <shortcut>) fails trying to download a JRE (why for?)


        STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
        Start any web start java application based on a JNLP similar to the one in section "Source code for an executable test case".

        Once invoked/installed first from a web browser (IE), restarts the application using the desktop icon newly created.


        EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
        EXPECTED -
        Javaws should NOT try to download a new JRE. At least 3 JDK/JRE available on the host (jre1.5.0_15, jre1.6.0_03 and jre1.6.0_05) are matching the jnlp requirement <j2se version="1.6.0+">

        ACTUAL -
        Javaws tries to download of JRE (which normaly fails under VISTA) when launching the application using a shortcut icon created based on JNLP content

        NOTE:
        Launching the application from the Web browser always works properly.

        CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
        In fact the shortcuts created by javaws based on JNLP content target the following file "C:/Windows/System32/javaws.exe" and not "C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_05\bin\javaws.exe" even if the JVM system property java.home returns " C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_05"

        "C:/Windows/System32/javaws.exe" version is 1.6.0_05.

        Workaround 1:
        Delete "C:/Windows/System32/javaws.exe" and then javaws will use "C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_05\bin\javaws.exe" as target for the shortcuts

        Workaround 2:
        Renaming "C:/Windows/System32/javaws.exe" in "C:/Windows/System32/javaws2.exe" and changing accordingly the shortcut target solves also the issues. This one is VERY SURPRISING !!!
        Moreover on next creation of short cut "C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_05\bin\javaws.exe" will be used.
        New Description of the underlying problem:
        J4B revisions are not recognized as platfrorm versions because they contain a hyphen in the full version id, which the previously existing version docs said implied a pre-fcs version. When in fact these are post fcs versions.
