Java Web Start apps defaulting to 32-bit JVM; need 64-bit

843798Apr 29 2010 — edited Apr 30 2010
We use Java Web Start to install our client interface application.

When I install on a 64-bit Windows Server 2003 system, the desktop icon that is created points to C:\WINDOWS\SysWOW64\javaws.exe, which opens the client in a 32-bit JVM.

How can I get Web Start to generate the icon with a target of C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\javaws.exe so that it will start in a 64-bit JVM?

Do we control the string that is used for the target or is it a built-in function that we cannot change? (Note: I'm not the developer, just researching the problem so I can tell the coder what, if anything, should be changed.)
