JDK-6583832 - PIT : extra files created under jdk1.6.0_05
Description
FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
JDK 1.6.0_10 build 22

ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.0.6001]

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
If you installed and uninstall the JDK using the offline installer it leaves behind three files in C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_10:

jre.msi
jre1041.mst
jre2052.mst

These files are not removed even after a reboot.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
I am expecting the entire "java" directory to be removed once I uninstall the last JDK
ACTUAL -
"java" directory and some files are left behind

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
