EVALUATION The launcher.exe under jre6/lib folder is kept there for purpose and will not be removed. The regutils.dll is created as separete component and installedd into the private jre/bin diretory. The msvcr71.dll is bundled into the tool.zip and will be unzipped into jre/bin and jdk/bin during the installation. The other files under jdk directory will be removed.
