That's not a JDK, just the JRE: it has no developer tools.

So you have a JDK installed. But the lib/ directory is not the one to
add to your path. Use the bin/ directory if you want to do that.

You need a JDK that works for your platform.

At the command prompt, enter:

  set java

Is JAVA_HOME set? If not, set it in your desktop using sysdm.cpl (enter
that in the little window that opens on hitting Windows-R), and be sure
to set it to:

  C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_21

Then, try again.
