Sub Tasks

Description
a. Run jre/jdk offline installer.
b. Change install location to a mapped network drive.
c. The last error dialog should display with the checkbox selected for "Open Java Help in Internet Explorer"

If installing in certain EU locales and ja, the localized text of "Open Java Help in Internet Explorer" will be truncated. Attached are the screenshots. The longest translation of this text are fr and ja. The bug can appear, only with the l10n strings putbacked. The l10n texts will be putbacked in b03, but the truncation should be solved at same build.
in german, text of "click finish to exit the wizard" is also truncated. Attached is the screenshot.

The textbox width needs to be increased to hold the entire text.
