That was the usual problem in the olden days.

But today you can do :

cd E:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0\bin
java.exe -version

and it will STILL get the wrong Java.

I got around the problem by uninstalling all the JDKs, pruning files
and registry then installing just one of them. This also made IntelliJ
13.1 idea64.exe start working too.

I was under the delusion you needed a 32 bit JVM for the browser.
