I ran into a rather puzzling problem, trying to install Vuze 4.2.0.2 on my Windows 7. I have a Java 6 JDK 64bit, but Vuze complains that it can't find a correct 32bit JRE. Yet, as far as I know it shouldn't matter which Java is installed on the computer. (See also these answers).

Now I was wondering :

  1. if it makes sense running a 32bit and a 64bit Java on the same machine,

  2. Whether that is possible, and if so

  3. what I should pay attention to in order to make sure that the correct Java is found.

Thank you in advance

PS : I have my reasons no to use the latest Vuze, so please don't tell me to update Vuze. I know.
