I don't think it's being made public. You can ask at java.com support site...

You may find that the update capabilities of Java Web Start do what you want. It can trigger JRE updates if the JNLP is correctly constructed.

That's not good enough. My user base would then have to install the JRE in the first place, at which point jussched.exe would take over anyway.

Not correct. JWS can cause JRE install if needed (from web or cd or ...).
