Description
We have found Windows environments where the Sun Java Console IE Add-on is mapped to ssv.dll and on other Windows environments it is mapped to jp2iexp.dll. In all those cases the version is 6.0.200.2 (means 6u20 build 02).

On one box the mapping is:

    SSVHelper Class -> ssv.dll
    Sun Java Console -> jp2iexp.dll

See also screenshots SunJavaConsole-jp2iexp.png and SSVHelper_Class-ssv.png

If you install 6u20 on a fresh box, the mapping is

    SSVHelper Class -> non existent (due to CR 6953625)
    Sun Java Console -> ssv.dll

See also SunJavaConsole-ssv.png attached, workaround in CR 6953625 says to map SSVHelper Class to ssv.dll.

If you install 6u20 and then 5u20 (SunJavaConsole-ssv.png), the mapping is

    SSVHelper Class -> ssv.dll
    Sun Java Console -> ssv.dll

Is it correct that both SSVHelper Class and Sun Java Console are mapped to ssv.dll ?
