Long story short, I have 2 applications that use IE and use instances of Java to run there specific application.
I can not silo these apps for tales I will not go into, and I cannot just choose one for tales I cannot go into
I realize MS JVM does not have support anymore, these are both 3rd party applications.
What I tried to do was just have Sun Java installed on the machine and make a streaming application utilizing the MS JVM with IE on there.
This does not work as when I pull up the app Java does not load on the streamed application.
Can not do this by profile (I think?) since the reg key is an HKLM.
help?
Did a quick Google search, this looks promising:

Alan....it works! Thanks so much, I hunted all over for an article like this and I could not find it! You are amazing.
You're welcome. It was mostly just dumb luck finding the right article :-)
So just to recap here is what I did, see if you disagree on any aspect of this...
Users come in through a published desktop....I created the AIE and associated the app with it, when I did the install of the AIE I also ran my registry fix settings, so that's all and good. Users double click on an icon that calls out a bat file that runs the AIERUN command for that particular app, and off they run - no double log in script and no double license use....sound peachy?
I haven't tried it myself, but I reread the article and it certainly sounds like you are on the right track.
Riddle me this anyone (Particularly Mr.Osborne)
Why would you recommend AIE, and not app streaming for this solution...hrrmmmm?
Actually, I didn't recommend any particular approach, I merely referenced an article I stumbled upon :-)
However, the only real difference between the two is where the application executes.
The Citrix App Streaming profiler watches an application installation and captures it within an AIE instance. The profiled application is packaged up as a CAB file and stored on a file server. It may optionally be pre-deployed to the client-side Deploy folder for offline use.
When a user launches the app, the streaming client either "streams" the app locally from the deploy folder to the RadeCache folder, or it "streams" it in real-time from a network share to the RadeCache.
Either way, the end result is that once the application is in the RadeCache, it runs within an AIE instance when launched.
You need to decide where it makes sense to run the app - from the XenApp farm or from the client-side.
Well, if I could I'd love to stream the app, here's my problem though tell me if you can think of a solution...
The users are trained to use PN and go to there public desktop, so therefore this app will just be an icon on there desktop, if its a streamed app, they will have to run the login script and take another license file...
With the AIE I can just run the AIERUn command and off it goes......
