Long shot but is there a way I can get a java applet to request a particular version of JRE? The project I'm currently working on has 4 online system which apparently will only work with specific versions of JRE. All 4 versions of JRE install no problems but no matter what I do I'm always presented with the latest 1.6 release.

Sun seems to be saying that since 1.5.0.07 a specific version can't be offered and that all app that make use of JRE should be updated but the customer is saying no can do.

I've had a look through the registry and it seems that everything under the sun (pardon the pun) is registered against the folder C:\Program Files\Java\jre6 so IE always presents the latest copy.

It's doing my head in to be quite honest :)
 
By the latest one I mean the latest from the 4 versions that the customer wants. So the customer wants 1.5.0.11, 1.5.0.17, 1.6.0.3 and 1.6.0.12 for example, can't remember the exacts number right now, but IE always loads 1.6.0.12 and the jre6 folder contains a copy of the 1.6.0.12 folder.
 
It's beginning to look like without some serious hacking of the registry then what the customer is asking for can't be done. The problem with hacking the registry is what happens when you launch a new IE window would entirely depend on the hacked setting put in earlier i.e. when and what causes the the workstation to return to using the latest version etc...
