Hello,
Reading that bug, it seems the problem is when the installer copies
java.exe into the Windows system directory. In that case, it may not
have access to the msvcr re-distributables. I will try to find out if
our installers are still doing this.

Apparently, someone was trying to get rid of dll dependencies from

Do anyone think this still seems relevant? Otherwise I'd like to get
rid of this hack, and link java and javaw just like all the other
launchers.
I don't know if it is still needed but it seems to be related to the
upgrade to VC 7 and an issue related to redistribution issue of the MS
runtime. JDK-6282039 and JDK-6382014 have some info on this.
