Minecraft: java issues

Yesterday a friend of mine had an issue running the .exe version of Minecraft.
Minecraft is a game developed in Java, so it needs JRE (Java Runtime Environment) if you want to play the "desktop" version, while the "browser" version needs only the java plugin for the browser.

Ok, my friend has installed Java 6.29, but... the system doesn't know the right path and Minecraft doesn't found the Java directory:

"Error: the registry refers to a nonexistent Java Runtime Environment installation or the runtime is corrupted."

Write java -version in the prompt (Run>cmd) for the Java version installed.

An "Error: could not open c:\Program Files\Java\jre6\lib\amd64\jvn.cfg" with a incorrect path...
The directory amd64 doesn't exists and the java installation is for an Intel cpu.

Java removing, java re-installing, system registry cleaning ...  doesn't work.
Searching for this path in some registry key ... nothing
Setting a "path" variable in the system environment variables... nothing

*rage*

Googling...

The solution is there!
-Download the JavaMSIFix.exe that fixes the registry (where? I don't know, I destroyed my F3 button searching in the registry)
-Run it
-Install the 1.6.x (x86,x64) version of Java
-Enjoy...

  6. Hello! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any trouble with hackers?
    My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing months of hard work due to no
    back up. Do you have any methods to protect against hackers?

  7. I have been surfing online more than three hours these days,
    but I never discovered any interesting article like yours.
    It's beautiful worth sufficient for me. Personally, if all webmasters and bloggers made excellent content as you did, the internet will be much more helpful than ever before. "Perfection of moral virtue does not wholly take away the passions, but regulates them." by Saint Thomas Aquinas.
