When run on a 64-bit Windows system the NSIS script does not check the 32-bit registry path for a JRE.
32-bit JRE registry path --> "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment" 64-bit JRE registry path --> "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment" The difference being that the 32-bit entries are off the "Wow6432Node" key.
