Description
Real-world scenario:
- Install 6u10 to the default directory, "C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\".
- From the command line, run a jar file using "C:\program files\java\jre6\bin\java.exe" (all lower case).  Leave it running.
- Install 6u11 online installer to patch 6u10 at "C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\".
"C:\program files\java\jre6\bin\java.exe" is in use.
but not displayed in the FilesInUse dialog box.

The check against the directory 6u11 is being installed to is using StrStr() which is case-sensitive.
