Thanks Rodel - this is possibly one of the most useful posts I've seen - this same issue was driving me nuts (I'm on V17 but must get round to updating).
I needed to uninstall Java (which was V8) go back to Oracle's site and install V7, them point at it as you posted.

Primavera P6 rel 15.xx + up or higher version is using Java 7.

If P6 installation is using 32bit, the java folder (jre7) should be located under C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7

If you find Java\jre7 folder, make sure that the JAVA_HOME environment is set.
