As you might have seen in the last changset, build-infra now builds on 32bit windows.

Is it looking for a JDk or a JRE ? What's in \windows\system32\java will 
I believe always
map to a public JRE install, not a JDK.

This is a 64 bit Windows 7 system - I think > 50% of windows 7 installs 
are 64 bit.
I have *several* JRE's and JDK's installed. The JRE's are in the default 
locations, the JDKs
are installed into \jdk1.6 and \jdk1.7. But all were installed by the 
standard Oracle installer.

Also 1.7 is my default JRE , [how] could that be the problem ?

sh-4.1$ which java
/cygdrive/c/Windows/system32/java
sh-4.1$  java -version
java version "1.7.0_01"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_01-b08)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 21.1-b02, mixed mode, sharing)
