How to reprodcue

1.) Create a non admin user a/c for Vista machine. Set it to UAC enable

2.) Execute "javaws -uninstall", to make sure no pre downloaded jar files exist in the machine.

3.) Install latest respin pit bundle
http://j2se.east/arc/1.6.0_12/pit/2008-12-19.18_06/

4.) Provide the admin password when asked for it.

5.) Please make sure that you can install JRE without any issue. Now open JCP and go to viewer

Expected Behavior:
It should show preloaded jar files downloaded for Java FX

Actual Behavior:
No pre loaded jar files are shown
This issue is reproducible on another machine also (urti064.india.sun.com) with Normal User and UAC Enabled.

EVALUATION this is because the JRE installer can only run as admin user. So the javafx JARs are downloaded into the admin's user's cache instead.
