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 :
if it makes sense running a 32bit and a 64bit Java on the same machine,
Whether that is possible, and if so
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.

You don't need JDK to run Vuze, JRE should suffice. Apparently it does matter which Java is installed on the computer. I had a similar issue with 64bit Internet Explorer. So:
- Yes, it does
- Yes, it is possible to install both JREs
- You don't need to pay attention, it should find the appropriate version automatically.
