Description
Currently, many PC-OEMs use the JAVAUPDATE=0 option to turn off Java Update for bundling. However, what we really want is for PC-OEMs to turn off Java Update but enable Java Plug-in to prompt users to turn on Java Update again on first run.

We should change the JRE installer to turn off Java Update but enable first-run prompt in Java Plug-in if JAVAUPDATE=0 is passed.

EVALUATION Fixed to enable prompt at first plugin run, if jre is installed with JAVAUPDATE=0 arg. And also JAVAUPDATE=0 will not disable ControlPanel's Update tab anymore(it used before this fix). ###@###.### 2005-04-28 13:57:23 GMT
