It is expected that with regdeploy changes, javaws.exe under /system32 is alwasys the highest insteall version regardless the order of jre/javafx runtim sequence

In the following installation order, javaws.exe is the second  highest install version on the system which is incorrect 

- Install 6u29
- Install  FX 2.1 (promotion or latest deploy-scrum bit)
- Install 7u4-b09
- Install 6u31-b04 (latest)


Tested on x86 Win 7- uac off and  javaws.exe (v. 10.4.0.9)  under /system32 comes from jre 7u4.  It should have been the version 10.4.1.x from FX 2.1 

The issue can be reproducible using FX 2.1-b10 promotion or latest fx 2.1 deploy-scrum bit (latest b36)
