Description
I removed the code from installer.dll that was removing the jcp file from the system dir.  I noticed a bug with deploy.dll.

deploy.dll correctly installs the jcp file during JRE install, but incorrectly removes it during uninstall.  I think it has to do with this missing slash:

UnregisterJCP
  get system dir [C:\WINDOWS\system32] OK
  isFileExist for [C:\WINDOWS\system32javacpl.cpl] return FALSE
Comments
EVALUATION problem: UnregisterJCP is not returning delete javacpl.cpl command when needed. we did not check the conditions in the right order. when previousDeployExists is false, curPluginHome is "". we need to delete system javacpl.cpl in this case. also, missing slash in path to system javacpl.cpl. fix: restore if previoudDeployExists and curPlugin is valid. otherwise, delete system javacpl.cpl.
