Question
I had this all working, what changed I am baffled.
I have a Jenkins slave running on XP and when I go to start launch the slave, I get
Checking if Java exists
No Java found. Downloading JDK

At the XP machine console, I have
C:\Documents and Settings\build>java -version
java version "1.7.0_09"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_09-b05)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 23.5-b02, mixed mode, sharing)
Has anyone seen this before?
