We had a problem with JRE7 hanging (We're using WPGK-GP.) Our package is
set up to uninstall all versions of java, and install the current version. During
either the uninstall or install (I don't know which, my boss handled the java
packages) it was prompting to close jqs.exe. We just added a taskkill to kill
jqs.exe.

That solved the hanging problem we were experiencing.

p.s. Many apologies for responding to you Nicolas. I'm not a big mailing list person, and Outlook is making this a pain (From replies going directly to people, to having to manually edit every single reply to quote properly.)
