title: Install a 32-bit JRE on Windows 64-bit platform
body: <p>I have a Windows 2008 64-bit server and I have to install a 32-bit JRE, because my Java application uses 32-bit DLLs using JNI.</p>
  
  <p>Unfortunately the <code>java.exe</code> is installed to <code>C:\Windows\SysWow64</code> and when I start a console window or a batch file the installed <code>java.exe</code>is not found. (Because <code>cmd.exe</code> is a 64-bit application and sees the 64-bit version of the system directory which has no <code>java.exe</code>) </p>
  
  <p>How can I make the installed <code>java.exe</code> available to batch files and the command line without to much messing around with the system configuration, causing other problems or preventing future updates to the JRE?</p>
