Description W.Strabbing 2012-12-29 20:17:20 UTC 
Just installed OOo on my new labtop with Windows 7.
It has Java version 1.7 in Program Files/Java/.
When I access an existing database I get the error "No Java installation found".
The "Extra/Options/OpenOffice.org/Java" menu doesn't show a connected Java and also doesn't find it if I guide it to the Program Files/Java/JRE7/ directory.
How can I connect my Java to OOo?

Please read the Release Notes:
http://www.openoffice.org/development/releases/3.4.1.html#AOO3.4.1ReleaseNotes-KnownIssues

Apache OpenOffice 3.4.0 and 3.4.1 support Java 7, which is the recommended
configuration; but (especially on 64-bit Windows) you might receive warnings
about the Java version being defective. In that case, download and install the
Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package

Due to this bug in Java 7, you have to install
http://download.microsoft.com/download/5/B/C/5BC5DBB3-652D-4DCE-B14A-475AB85EEF6E/vcredist_x86.exe
