If JRE is installed in a non-default location. JaWS is still installed under Program Files directory (default location). 


OS	: Windows
JDK	: JRE 1.4.0_x

Steps to reproduce:
1. Install JRE 1.4.0_x, specify a non-default directory.


Results:

Although the JRE is installed in a non-default location, the Java Web Start which is also installed, is installed in Program Files (default directory).

-------------------
With mantis, this is no longer true.
java web start does not have a seperate installer.  it only installs within 
the jare as part of the jare install

Work Around


1. Uninstall Java Web Start from Control Panel - Add/Remove Programs.

2. Run Java Web Start installation file in JRE folder. This gives the option to the user to specify where they want to install Java Web Start.


Evaluation
Investigate for Mantis.
