JDK-6206216 - can't remove old app if vendor change title attribute in jnlp file on windows platform
Description
When Java Web Start downloads Bugster for the first time, it installs the application and adds it to the WinXP (SP2) Add/Remove programs list, as it should do.

However, as a new version becomes available, and JWS updates the current version to the new, the old release version of the s/w is not removed from the WinXP Add/Remove programs list.

I've manually tried to remove the old versions, but all it does it to remove the current, latest version from the PC, and leave the old version in the add/remove programs list.

I'm not 100% sure if this a bugster coding issue or a problem with Java Web Start, but it's definetely something that needs looking into.

If you would like me to provide screenshots etc., I can do this.

My WinXP Pro (SP2) is fully uptodate with all the latest MS patches and uses JRE Version 1.5.0 (build 1.5.0-b64).
