If you intend to upgrade your environment to a 64-bit architecture, while continuing to use your 32-bit implementation, install a 32-bit JVM in your 64-bit Content Delivery environment. The Content Delivery installer will then take care of setting up the appropriate options on the system to accommodate this scenario.

If you intend to run Java on Windows, note that you also require the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable SP1.

You can download the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 SP1 Redistributable from this location: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=26999
