Synopsis jucheck is not getting removed from windows process
Category java:install
Reported Against b09
Release Fixed 6u10(b24)
State 11-Closed, Verified, bug
Priority: 3-Medium

Description
jucheck.exe is still running even after java is uninstalled from the user machine.

How to reproduce

1.) Silent install of JRE 6u10 

2.) Make the changes for Autoupdate/Manual update

3.) Wait for Java Update notification dialog.

4.) Now Close the Java Control Panel (incase of manual update) 

5.) Now without closing Java Update notification dialog.

6.) Perform Silent Uninstall

Actual Behaviour
Jucheck is still running, Sometime we have found the Jusched.exe will also be running in the window process list. If you kill Jucheck from the window process list, you can still see the icon remains in the system tray. To remove icon from tray, you need to move mouse on it.

Expeted Behaviour
Jucheck and Jusched should be killed/removed from the window process list. No System tray icon should exist.

This is blocking our Automation script to function properly. Hence very critical for beta. This issue has been mostly seen on VISTA, but in XP also it has been observed.

Work Around
Either click on 'Later' or 'X' on the dialog, and then uninstall.
In AutoUpdate case, don't click on the system tray icon, and then start the uninstall.
Evaluation
This happens only when uninstalling JRE while the dialog is up.
This doesn't happen in AutoUpdate cases where the user is notified by system tray icon. And also doesn't happen if user clicks on 'Later' or 'X' on the dialog,
and then uninstalls.
It's very unusal that user would click on JavaCPL's 'Update Now' button, then starts the uninstall process after the 'Update Available' dialog shows. 
The other scenario is, when user clicks on system tray icon and then starts uninstall
process while the dialog is up.

Since it's very narrow scenario, lowering the priority to 3.
