CF9.0.1 - Updating 32-bit JRE on 64-bit Windows

Hi all,

Based on this security alert (http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/894/cpsid_89440.html), I am looking to upgrade my CF 9.0.1 install from the default JRE 1.6_17 to 1.6_24.

On my Windows 7 64 / CF9.0.1 64 development system I simply downloaded the 64-bit JRE, installed and pointed CF at the newly installed JRE (via the CF admin). All worked flawlessly.

My testing server (Windows Server 2008 Standard SP1 64-bit) is currently running CF 9.0.1 32-bit. I downloaded the 32-bit JRE (jre-6u24-windows-i586) and ran the installed it to C:\Java\jre6. Additionally, based on the note found here: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/install-windows-64-142952.html

I added C:\Java\jre6\bin\ to my PATH via the control panel.

Going to the command line (at c:\> ) and typing "java -version" provides:

java version "1.6.0_24"

Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_24-b07)

Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 19.1-b02, mixed mode, sharing)

So now, I go to the CF Admin -> Java and JVM and reset the Java Virtual Machine Path to "C:/Java/jre6". It works and prompts me to restart my CF service.

The server shuts down and then fails to restart. The Windows Application log shows: "The ColdFusion 9 Application Server service could not be started.  Check the server "coldfusion" log files for more information."

If I revert back to the JVM in C:\Coldfusion9\runtime\jre the server restarts normally.

Any ideas?
