I'm trying to set the JAVA_HOME environment variable - I need to set it to the 64 bit version.

To make sure I have the 64 bit version, I checked java -version by the cmd prompt, and got the output: 

Java version "1.7.0_25" 
Java<TM> SE Runtime Environment <build 1.7.0_25-b17>
Java Hotspot<TM> 64-bit Server VM <build 23.25-b01, mixed mode>

I'm assuming the last line verifies I have 64-bit... so I went to check the exact path to type into the environment variable, and found that Program Files\Java\ does not contain a jdk folder. However, Program Files (x86)\Java\ does. Instead, the former only has a jre7 folder.

I can't direct my environment variable to the 32-bit folder because Android Studio keeps telling me that I need 64-bit java. What am I missing?

(If this belongs on SuperUser and not here, just comment below and i'll delete the question here)
