Not able to properly set up the path of java in Windows 7 , 64 bit

Question

I have installed java 1.6 in my computer and I have also set the path, using the advanced variable settings.

At a command prompt when I tried to execute java I got this error:

 Error: could not open `C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\lib\amd64\jvm.cfg'

But when I executed this command from a command prompt: javac -version it was showing that I had the proper version set.

 javac 1.6.0_27.

Someone please help me to solve this error.
