The online JRE installer is installing as STATIC if patches are not created for 6u10 and all lesser versions.

CR 6758282 has a case where jre1.6.0_12-s-l.msi was installed instead of uninstalling 6u10 and installing jre1.6.0_12-c-l.msi.

N/A

In the online installer, IsVersionUpdateable() does not compare version strings, but looks for the version in PatchStruct.h.

In CR 6758282 ALT_BASE_IMAGE_DIR, PATCH_LIST, and PatchStruct.h did not include 1.6.0_10.

With the R2 online installer (in PIPSSR.odp), both 6u10 and 6u11 will exist on the machine.  6u11 will be installed statically.  I think the expectation was that the 6u11 online installer would behave more like the 6u11 offline installer and uninstall 6u10.
