SQLDeveloper error "Can't load AMD 64-bit .dll on a IA 32-bit platform"

Hi

I've installed SQL Developer.
It starts, but when I try to connect to the HR database I get the following error message:
An error was encountered performing the requested operation:

C:\oracleee\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\BIN\ocijdbc11.dll: Can't load AMD 64-bit .dll on a IA 32-bit platform

Vendor code 0
I already have Oracle EE installed, and have installed JDeveloper today. Both are running with no problems.
SQLDeveloper, I initially downloaded without the JDK, but that didn't work, and reading the many replies to other people who had had the same problem (something about mscvr7.dll or some such), as per their exhortations I downloaded the SQLDeveloper that includes the JDK, which happens to be 32 bit (there is no 64 bit SQL Developer with JDK bundled with it). I'm running 64-bit W7.

Can anybody help me here? I don't have much of a clue when it comes to JDKs.

Many thanks,
Jason
