Application needs older version of java

[Loial]

I have an old 3rd party application that requires Java 6. I have both Java 6 and 7 installed and enabled on Windows(according to Control Panel...Java). When I run the app it says it needs Java 6, but also says that the older version is not installed on my computer, which is not true.

How can I allow this application to still use Java 6 whilst still allowing all other application to use Java 7?

Any help appreciated

You will likely need to mess with environment variables that are set
when the application starts, such as JDK_HOME or JRE_HOME.

At the same time, I wouldn't trust a 3rd party application that can't
use newer Java versions.
