Service does not start automatically

Serviio: v1.0.1
Java: v1.7.0.7 x64
System: Windows 7 x64 (up to date)

After installation Serviio has registered as Windows service and startup mode was chosen 'Automatic'. It could not start on system startup with a following exeption message on Event Log: "The Serviio service failed to start due to the following error: Serviio is not a valid Win32 application.". I managed to disable the service and started it using Serviio.bat script. The difference in scenarios could be Java and accessing Java using parameters from system environment.

I've had nothing but trouble getting W7 64 to start Java apps, unless I run the .jar rather than whatever .exe is supposed to make it work.

This I know is a problem with my Java install rather than any app I have that uses it.

I have heard people(*) saying that Windows7 users can install both x86 and x64 versions of Java 7 without causing conflicts. You might want to do that then.
