    It doesn't matter what folder Java gets installed in. Program Files (x86) and Program Files are different folders to help you as an admin/user differentiate between the two types of applications/installations. It really doesn't matter if a 64-bit program gets installed in the x86 folder, to my knowledge. If you really, really need to get it into x64 Program Files though, I suppose you could move the dependencies manually and then change the HOME (or whatever the variable for the home path in Java is - I haven't worked with Java in a while) variable after the fact.

    You can choose the target directory when you install it ...
