Your best bet is to install a JDK someplace like C:\java rather than
the default ("Program Files") -- the spaces can cause problems.

Then set JAVA_HOME as a system property and add %JAVA_HOME%\bin
and  %JAVA_HOME%\jre\bin to your PATH.

That's from memory, haven't used Windows in quite a while, but it
should get you close  :-)
