Looks like you are using Windows. Please go the Environment Variables and define a user variable as:

    Right Click(My Computers) -> Advanced -> Environment Variables -> Add

    Variable Name = JAVA_HOME
    Variable Value = Root Folder of Java 1.6.0_17 installation

Also in the same screen, please check the PATH variable and make sure **bin** Folder of Java 1.6.0_17 installation is added in the path preferably in the beginning and remove the Java 7 from the path, if it is there.
