    It's been a while since I set up Java on a Windows machine but, IIRC, you need to add the Java path to your environmental variables, something like %windir%/Program Files/Java/.

    You need to install Java first. Then you need to add its root directory in Program Files to your environmental variables if it doesn't do so itself. Found instructions for finding it in Vista.
