Description
When carrying out Silent Install tests (in particular msvcrt.dll tests as part of Special Silent Install test cases) on jdk1.4.0_02 it was found that just the jre was installed.

To reproduce:
Follow the procedure out lined in Test Case 1 of the mscvrt.dll tests found at the following URL:
 http://javaweb.sfbay/~rpallath/plugin/docs/install.txt

Copy an old version of msvcrt.dll into your system directory 
Search drive for file 'jdk_install.txt" and if found remove it
Reboot and log in
Invoke Java2 SDK Installer from command prompt
     <sdk installer>.exe -a -r -f1<setup response file>
At the end it will prompt with a reboot dialog
Click on Yes
Log in again
Uninstall Java2 SDK and JRE
Reboot
Now invoke installer with  the new response file created
     <sdk installer>.exe -s -a -s -f1<setup response file>
   
The result of this will be that only the JRE is installed.

This result was seen on Windows 2000 and 98.

EVALUATION This is due to the wrong sequence of dialogs being recorded into .iss file when the machine needs a reboot. To fix this we need to check for RECORDMODE IShield variable and not to call SdFinishReboot dialog if it is set. ###@###.### 2002-06-26
