you need to change variables
PATH to include java executable directory (or you need to call the java 
executable by full name, including path) and
JAVA_HOME to jre or jdk's base directory (eg JAVA_HOME=C:\Program 
Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_01)

Normally Java installers do this for you i believe.

hope it helps
