Some more information:

The Windows installer will sometimes copy java.exe from the
public JRE into C:\Windows.  So, even if your PATH is set
correctly, unless the JRE\bin folder is near the front, the
system may still find an older java.exe left over from an
older install.  (If you install the public JRE along with
the JDK, it should overwrite the old java.exe.)

To test this, open a command line window, and type:
   where java
