in the comment of ssvsetup in reginstall.cpp: // Run the code in the SSV DLL to perform registry key redirection. // This serves two purposes. One is to support installation of the JRE // while the web browser (IE) is open and detection of that JRE // without restarting the browser. The second is to perform the // redirection of the HKLM registry entries on Vista to cover the case // where UAC is off; the HKCU redirection performed by the ssvagent in // medium integrity doesn't have an effect in this case, and we want // to try to avoid launching ssvagent in high integrity mode. Since // we're already high integrity at this point, do this work eagerly. Note that the above comment was referring to a bug in Vista fcs which was fixed in SP1. we should investigate the ssv module to not setting the redirect keys in the HKLM branch.
