Description
Found when doing 1.6.0_12-b02 PIT testing.

to reproduce:

I installed the 6u12 32 bit JDK on a 64 bit OS system silently.

Then I installed the 6u12 32 bit JRE on the same 64 bit system.

when I uninstalled the JDK (leaving the JRE intact) the uninstall did not
fully remove the JDK files.  I was left with:

C:/progra~2/Java/jdk1.6.0_12/jre.msi
C:/progra~2/Java/jdk1.6.0_12/jre1041.MST
C:/progra~2/Java/jdk1.6.0_12/jre2052.MST

My steps:

jdk160.exe /s /qn
jre160.exe /s /qn
msiexec /x "{32A3A4F4-B792-11D6-A78A-00B0D0160120}" /qb

this was via automation but I was able to reproduce by hand using the same
steps.

Work Around
N/A
Evaluation
The issue is only seen in the silent installation jdk, then silent install jre separately.

The silent jdk does not install public jre and it should not install the jre msi and mst files.

The fix is to not download the unnecessary jre msi and mst files for silent jdk installation.
