EVALUATION I re-tested with the b137 respin (http://j2se.east.sun.com/arc/ds_build/1.7.0/nightly/2011-04-02) and this CR was fixed with 7019865.

EVALUATION The only place I see BrowserJavaVersion used is in the install workspace is in install\make\installerdll\installerdll\src\installer\UnregCurrentVersion.rgs which it used by UnregCurrentVersionKeys(). Since the Major and Minor versions are the same for 1.7.0 and 1.7.0_01, using PLUGIN_MAJOR_VERSION and PLUGIN_MINOR_VERSION in UnregCurrentVersionKeys(PLUGIN_MAJOR_VERSION, PLUGIN_MINOR_VERSION, installType); should be fine
