In theory (I didn't yet checked it out) when you replace the VM you're only
adding a DLL on your installation, and where the bug resides (IMVVVVVHO) is
in the java.exe binary (which actually _CALLS_ that dll) so, installing the
client JDK, and then adding on the Server version of HotSpot should (but I
want to be cautious since I didn't try it) in theory work...
