Unable to launch Composer after JRE Version Change

Composer Version : 6.7
JRE Version : 1.6.0.xx
Windows OS : 64 bit Windows 7 Professional

After uninstalling existing JRE Version and installing JRE version 7.0, composer is getting failed to launch.

Even after uninstalling JDK 7.0 and reinstalling JRE version 6.0, composer didn't work.

Resolution:

Composer uses 32 bit SWT. So, composer requires 32 bit JRE version.

Although 64bit jre version 6.0 exists on this machine, we have installed 32 bit JRE version 1.6.

So, after installing 32 bit JRE version (though OS is 64 bit), we have launched composer using following command from command prompt.



C:\Composer>composer.exe -vm "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_xx\jre\bin\server\jvm.dll"
