SUN jre 1.6.0_04 under Forms 10.1.2.3 and IE7

Question

Hello,
I get nuts about the SUN jre configuration in relation with IE7 (client side) and running under the Application Server 10.1.2.3 (server side).
My problem is that I want to use JRE 1.6.0_04 on IE7 for Oracle Forms at the client side. On the test client is also installed: JRE 1.6.0_05 and JRE 1.6.0_07.
Here is my formsweb.cfg configuration to it:
[testapp]
width=1024
height=768
separateFrame=True
lookandfeel=Generic
form=test.fmx
otherparams=term=X:\as1012\forms\fmrpcwebd.res
WebUtilArchive=/forms/webutil/frmwebutil.jar,/forms/webutil/webutil.jar,/forms/webutil/jacob.jar
WebUtilLogging=off
WebUtilLoggingDetail=normal
WebUtilErrorMode=Alert
WebUtilDispatchMonitorInterval=5
WebUtilTrustInternal=true
WebUtilMaxTransferSize=16384
baseHTMLjinitiator=X:\as1012\forms\webutil\server\webutiljpi.htm
baseHTMLjpi=X:\as1012\forms\webutil\server\webutiljpi.htm
baseHTML=X:\as1012\forms\webutil\server\webutilbase.htm
archive_jini=frmall_jinit.jar
archive=frmall.jar,jacob.jar,webutil.jar
lookAndFeel=oracle
jpi_download_page=http://java.sun.com
jpi_classid=clsid:CAFEEFAC-0016-0000-0004-ABCDEFFEDCBA
jpi_codebase=http://server:7777/forms/webutil/jre-6u4-windows-i586-p.exe
jpi_mimetype=application/x-java-applet;jpi-version=1.6.0_04
jpi_download_page=http://server:7777/forms/webutil/jre-6u4-windows-i586-p.exe
IE=native
I tried it under Firefox 3.0 where the version JRE 1.6.0_07 is installed. With the upper showed configuration it didn't worked. Only if I change this entry jpi_mimetype=application/x-java-applet;jpi-version=1.6.0_07.
Result: Firefox works correct.
But the IE always starts the application with the SUN client: JRE 1.6.0_07
I don't know what to do? I also changed the registry entry:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\JavaSoft\Java Update\Policy]
and put this value in:
"EnableSecureStaticVersioning"=dword:00000000
Maybe somebody else knows what to do?
Thanks ahead

What I noticed earlier this year was
you can force Forms to use JRE 1.5 even though you have JRE 1.6 installed, but it will always pick the newest patch installed.
So, if you want to use JRE 1.5 and have JRE 1.5.06 and 1.5.12 installed, the only way to use 1.5.06 is to uninstall 1.5.12
But, if you read note 14 on the vertification matrix, newer patches of a certified major version, are also supported :)
