Description
If the PATH environment variable contains a record configured by Oracle JDK installers from newer releases, the Oracle JRE installer inserts the path to the directory containing the Java commands (`java.exe`, `javaw.exe`, and `javaws.exe`) in the PATH environment variable after that record. 
Previously, the Oracle JRE installer ignored changes made to the PATH environment variable by Oracle JDK installers from newer releases and incorrectly updated the value of PATH environment variable.
