Is jinstall-6u3-windows-i586.cab likely to go away?

843804Dec 6 2007
My company embeds an applet in one of our products, and we use the object tag to install the JRE and start the applet.

We recently discovered that installing Java 6 update 2 through the object tag often requires a reboot of the machine. This is a major problem for us, and it's fixed in Java 6 update 3.

The default JRE that is downloaded using http://java.sun.com/update/1.6.0/jinstall-6-windows-i586.cab as the codebase is update 2. I finally found a way to download update 3 (after a lot of trying) by using http://java.sun.com/update/1.6.0/jinstall-6u3-windows-i586.cab as the codebase.

Is this file likely to go away? Why hasn't Sun updated the default cab file to update 3?

Thank you!
Bryan
