I'm also voting for this one, enterprise rollout is very 
important to us, but this is also important because msi 
packages can be setup to execute with elevanted priveldges.. 
One of our MAJOR problems with installing the java runtime is 
that it requires a (Windows XP) user to have local 
administrator rights - definately no the case in the majority of 
customer sites we deal with..

Please! We base our software on JWS and we need to roll out
to a wide range of clients and XP is proving to be a major
problem. Only the smoothest and easiest of Windows
installations will enable JWS to be universally used.

I'm also voting for this. I have to roll-out JRE 1.4.2 to more than 2000 Ws's, all as standard locked-down users.
