>                 Key: GROOVY-7788
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-7788
>             Project: Groovy
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: windows installer
>    Affects Versions: 2.4.6
>         Environment: Microsoft Windows 7 Enterprise 64 bit
> java version 1.8.0_65
> Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_65-b17)
> Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit server VM (build 25.65-b01, mixed mode)
>            Reporter: Shawn Cole
>            Priority: Minor
>              Labels: windows

> When I try to execute groovy I get:
> error: dynamic library C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_65\jre\bin\server\jvm.dll exists but could not be loaded!
> This may be caused e.g. by trying to use a 32-bit executable to load a 64-bit jvm (or vice versa)
> error (win code 193): (null)
> error: could not find client or server jvm under C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_65
> please check that it is a valid jdk / jre containing the desired type of jvm
> I have a 64 bit machine and 64 bit java, with my JAVA_HOME pointing to C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_65
> The problem seems to be when I ran the windows installer, it installed a 32 bit version of groovy on my machine that is not able to run on the 64 bit JVM.
> Is there any workarounds to this? and please don't say install the 32 bit version of java, because if that is the only solution i'd rather just not learn this language. I can't seem to find any binaries specific to 64 bit or 32.
> Also note worthy: I can launch groovy shell and groovy console with their corresponding batch files in the bin directory successfully.
