JDK-4474876 - pick up jre's when installed
Description
Web Start running with 1.3.0_03 JDK.
installed jdk 1.3.1_02.
Uninstalled jdk1.3.0
Tried to launch Java Web Start which failed because it could not find the jre (it was uninstalled).

The installer should correct for this scenario (it might happen more often with the release of 1.4 fcs).
Comments
EVALUATION this is now fixed as a result of the implementation of rfe: 4474876
