 The "Express Desktop Install" option will automatically install java 6 u25
 on Windows (u25 release date 2011-03-21). This version has security
 issues. The newest java 6 version is u45 (release date 2013-04-16). As
 Oracle does not update java 6 anymore [1], I would recommend to upgrade to
 java  7
