Description
Customer wants reference to documentation for silent install of JDK on 
Windows, specifically mention of the INSTALLDIR parameter. 

Current documentation points to JRE installer options. 

Java SE 6 Platform Installation Page

For Windows: 

Microsoft Windows

To quietly install the Java platform behind the scenes, and for information 
on other install options, see JRE Installer Options.

JRE Installer Options

See the section 'Command Line Install' 

This syntax works with JDK install but is labelled as 'JRE' options.  The 
text in the previous pages implies that this syntax applies to the platform 
not just the JRE
