Windows installer does not recognize Java 64bit

Issue #50 resolved
Former user created an issue

I am using Windows 7 Premium 64-bit and I have the 64-bit version of Java SE6. When I ran the latest Windows Serviio installer it prompted me saying it did not find Java and then it unconditionally tried to install it (presumably the 32-bit version.) I canceled out of the installation and thankfully Serviio still proceeded to install (and work). I think you should have an <Cancel> button on that 'Java not found' popup but more importantly whatever you're looking for to determine if I have Java isn't taking into account the 64 bit version.

I think it might have something to do with the fact that Serviio gets installed in //C:\Program Files (x86)\// whilst Java 64bit is in //C:\Program Files\//

    added possibility to choose whether to install Java or not (if not found).

    If someone can provide Registry keys with Java for 64bit It can be checked against as well - this issue would be re-opened
