This java instance does not support a 64-bit JVM

Question

I home host a Minecraft server and I just updated Java to update 65, the server worked perfectly before updating but now, it says "This Java instance does not support a 64-bit JVM. Please install the desired version." Installing 32-bit Java doesn't help and this also happens when I run my Minecraft client. I have 64-bit Windows 7 running 64-bit Java 7. If anybody can help that would be great.

EDIT: Fixed it, apparently I'm just an idiot and had 32-bit installed when I updated java, and since I thought I had 64-bit installed I never thought to re-install it. Sorry for wasting your time

This error is associated with your System looking for a Java 64-bit Virtual Machine and not finding any.

To solve it, you must make sure that the 64-bit Java is installed. The problem the OP had was: He assumed he had the 64-bit installed, but he did not.
