Steps to reproduce:
------------------

1) Launch jdk-6u13-javafx-1_1_1-windows-i586.exe from http://jre.sfbay.sun.com/java/re/jdk/6u13/promoted/plus/b92/bundles/windows-i586/

The problem is not reproducible outside of the cobundle with jdk-6u13-windows-i586-p.exe from http://java.sun.com
Comments
The FX SDK is directly bundled with the JDK now, so this is no longer applicable.

EVALUATION I think what is happening here, is that the JDK installer cancel button tells the cobundle wrapper to delete all of the msi/cab files in the cache. After the JDK is cancelled, it tries to launch the FX SDK msi, which isn't there anymore. The fix should be to make sure it doesn't launch the FX SDK if cancel is returned from the JDK msiexec.exe.
