a 64-bit OS.  (The 32-bit Windows JVM has only the client DLL, the 64-bit only the server
DLL.)  The Tomcat installer program expects the JVM mode to match that of the OS.  Use a 64-bit
JVM.

Thanks. That's correct what you are saying. But this also means that 
whenever you're  asked to download the latest Java
from java.com (Sun/Oracle) with whatever Java app, e.g. OpenOffice or 
something, that infamous installer that
always installs the Yahoo toolbar in your browser when you don't untick 
that checkbox, you always get the 32bit version JVM
on windows.

I looked for a 64bit version on their download page to no avail.
