There are two different downloads for Java 7 offline Windows x86 installation. One with an ‘s’ and one without. I’ve tried looking around but can’t seem to find what differentiates the two?
jre-7u1-windows-i586-s.exe
jre-7u1-windows-i586.exe
Can anyone shed some light on the subject, as there seems to be nothing on the Java download page explaining what the ‘s’ is for!
Edit: Snapshot adding
The -s version of the installer is their sponsored version that includes an installer for a 3rd-party toolbar or product.
If you don’t install the 3rd-party product, the resulting JRE from jre-7u1-windows-i586-s.exe and jre-7u1-windows-i586.exe is identical.
