What worked for me was this:

add a path to your java/bin directory to the system Path variable. Do NOT include java.exe.

Steps on Win 7 64bit:

• Click Windows Button
• Right Click on Computer
• Select Properties from the Context Menu
• Click Advanced System Settings on the top left section
• Click the Environment Variables... button at the bottom of the properties dialog
• On the bottom list (System variables) find the "Path" variable
• Click the Edit button
• Go to the end of the textbox and type something like c:\program files\java\jdk1.6.0_26\bin (make sure it matches the name of your java directory!)
• Click OK
• Click OK
• Click OK

Try it out!
