Description
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Plug-in\1.7.x
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Web Start\1.7.x

these registry keys are bogus - if we detect them, we should remove them all.

we should add detect and cleanup method in registerDeploy, and execute it during both register and unregister.
