Description
http://rehudson.sfbay.sun.com:8080/hudson/view/deploy/job/jdk8_deploy-3-postbuild-windows-i586/ws/bundles/windows-i586/latest/

With the above latest deploy jre8 nightly bundle, jre8 installation doesn't copy DT plugin dlls into the windows/system32 directory

Steps to reproduce:
1) uninstall all JREs from the machine
2) manually delete deployJava1.dll and npdeployJava1.dll from the windows/system32 direcory
3) install jre8 deploy nightly build

You'll notice the DT plugin dlls don't exist in the system32 directory.

Comments
This probably isn't an issue anymore, but this copy code now belongs to deploy.dll. Assigning to deploy group.
