N/A

The fix is to examine if this issue is:

1. reproducible
2. problematic functionality-wise

I've investigated this a little further.  It is still reproducible in 6u10-b24.  The problem isn't necessarily in PatchInPlace, but rather during the uninstall of the JRE.

Easier steps to reproduce:

1. Install JRE
2. Uninstall JRE
3. View errors in java_install_reg.log file:

-- Start in UninstallJavaRegSet --
ERROR: FindJavaHome Open(JDKMAINKEY) failed.
ERROR: FindJavaHome Open(JDKMAINKEY) failed.
ERROR: FindJavaHome Open(JDKMAINKEY) failed.
JQS ERROR: (GetLastError=1060): Cannot find JQS service JavaQuickStarterService
JQS unregistered OK.

I've modified the synopsis.
