My PC runs 64-bit Win8.1 Pro with both 64-bit and 32-bit Java installed.  JAVA_HOME
is not defined, and only 64-bit Java is on the PATH.

    C:\downloads\Python>set JAVA_HOME
    Environment variable JAVA_HOME not defined
    
    C:\downloads\Python>"C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin\java" -version
    java version "1.7.0_71"
    Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_71-b14)
    Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.71-b01, mixed mode)
    
    C:\downloads\Python>java -version
    java version "1.7.0_71"
    Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_71-b14)
    Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.71-b01, mixed mode)

Install Jython 2.7.0 with this 64-bit Java:

    C:\downloads\Python>"C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin\java" -jar jython-installer-2.7.0.jar
    Ignoring indexes: https://pypi.python.org/simple/
    Downloading/unpacking setuptools
    Downloading/unpacking pip
    Installing collected packages: setuptools, pip
    Successfully installed setuptools pip
    Cleaning up...

Try running the jython.exe that is installed - it runs in 32-bit Java (!?):

    C:\downloads\Python>c:\programs\jython2.7.0\bin\jython
    Jython 2.7.0 (default:9987c746f838, Apr 29 2015, 02:25:11)
    [Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (Oracle Corporation)] on java1.7.0_71
    Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
    >>> exit()
    
    C:\downloads\Python>c:\programs\jython2.7.0\bin\jython --print
    java -Xmx512m -Xss1024k -classpath c:\programs\jython2.7.0\jython.jar;. -Dpython.home=c:\programs\jython2.7.0 -Dpython.executable=c:\programs\jython2.7.0\bin\jython.exe -Dpython.launcher.uname=windows
     -Dpython.launcher.tty=true org.python.util.jython

Run the installed jython.jar in 64-bit Java (the default on the machine):

    C:\downloads\Python>java -jar c:\programs\jython2.7.0\jython.jar
    Jython 2.7.0 (default:9987c746f838, Apr 29 2015, 02:25:11)
    [Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (Oracle Corporation)] on java1.7.0_71
    Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
    >>> exit()

These results are consistent with jython.exe being a 32-bit executable even though it was installed by 64-bit Java.

Why not install a 64-bit version of jython.exe when installing with 64-bit Java?  I can work around it, but the current behavior will confuse users.

So if only the 64-bit version is installed, there's no issue:

C:\jython2.7.0>bin\jython
Jython 2.7.0 (default:9987c746f838, Apr 29 2015, 02:25:11)
[Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (Oracle Corporation)] on java1.7.0_55

Does 32-bit and 64-bit Java install in the same directory, or different locations? If different locations, you can control with JAVA_HOME, although I guess environment variables are harder to use for this case than on Unix-like systems.

FWIW, I do recommend you run a later version of Java 7 - earlier builds have much slower bytecode verification.

The 64-bit and 32-bit Java installations are in different locations:

C:\Programs\Jython2.7.0\bin>"C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin\java" -version
java version "1.7.0_71"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_71-b14)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.71-b01, mixed mode)

C:\Programs\Jython2.7.0\bin>"C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\bin\java" -version
java version "1.7.0_71"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_71-b14)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 24.71-b01, mixed mode, sharing)

If I set JAVA_HOME to point to 64-bit Java and run the Jython exe, I get the Issue2346 error:

C:\Programs\Jython2.7.0\bin>set JAVA_HOME
JAVA_HOME="C:\Program Files\Java\jre7"
C:\Programs\Jython2.7.0\bin>jython

You are pointing at the wrong location; JAVA_HOME must be the parent directory of the bin directory for java:

C:\jython2.7.0>set JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_55

C:\jython2.7.0>bin\jython
Jython 2.7.0 (default:9987c746f838, Apr 29 2015, 02:25:11)
[Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (Oracle Corporation)] on java1.7.0_55

As this is a question, not an issue with Jython, and we helped, I suggest we close. (Resolution="invalid" seems the best fit. It wasn't an invalid question!)
