== Repair/Reinstall unsupported by Sun/Oracle ==
Written as of JRE 6 Update 25, the problem exists since Update 18.
We should be aware of this Bug: [http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6947907]
In short: "performing a repair or reinstallation from the .msi source installation database causes the majority of the files in the JRE's program directory (%ProgramFiles%\Java, by default) to be deleted, leaving Java unusable on the workstation"
This can happen to anybody of us when a WPKG fires its update (e.g. after the revision has been incremented) and the very same JRE is already installed on the target machine. -- todeti 2011-04-12

: I think this is a nice idea. Maybe "Java" should be a category as "Adobe software" is, grouping all vendors' specific JREs and JDKs silent installers. A drawback could be the low visibility that categories have in home page.
