Description
FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
 jdk-7u51-windows-x64

FULL OS VERSION :
Windows 7 64 Bit

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
After installation of JDK kit in Windows 7 64 bit I discovered there is no client folder in C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin, and its directory structure according to http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/jre-7-readme-430162.html. That means client folder does not exist in hierarchy. Then why client folder is coming in registry entry. There should be a server run time.

REGRESSION.  Last worked in version 7u51

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
You need to check RuntimeLib after installation of kit

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment\

It would be like C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin\client\jvm.dll

While there is no client directory
