I've used this link

https://sdlc1e.sun.com/ECom/EComActionServlet;jsessionid=D48656245DDF9C3ED266E2E
982743606

and downloaded the Windows x64 executable. I am using an AMD 64 processor.
Although the product will install, it still won't function. When I look in
the installed programs list, I can see that the Publisher name is glitched
and instead of saying Sun Microsystems, it gives a registry string. Anyone
else having difficulty installing Java? Considering this is a clean
installation of Ultimate x64, I don't see how I could be having these
difficulties.

Download JRE 6 from here:
http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp

Install the x86 JRE - the x64 version does not enable Java in your browser.

I have the x86 JRE installed here on x64 Vista. Works fine in IE7 32 bit.
Virtually no ActiveX etc are currently written for the native IE7 64 bit
browser.

Jane, not plain ;) 64 bit enabled :-)
Batteries not included. Braincell on vacation ;-)
