Description
Current Online installer downloads and installs Windows Installer if target machine
has WI version < 2.0.2600.0.
This can be taken out, since all the supported platforms from Java 6 have
WI installer 2.0.2600.0 or higher. This would simplify online installer code.

Comments
EVALUATION this involves removing the WI20 download/install code, to simplify jinstall
