I guess the problem come from the fact that jre-6u17-windows-i586-s.exe is a 32bit app.
It  obviously unpacks in in \Windows\system32\config\systemprofile\AppData\LocalLow\Sun\Java\jre1.6.0_17\
if a 64bits msiexec is started by the exe then it can't find jre1.6.0_17.msi as it is not there.
System32 when in 64bits mode is not the same system32 you got in 32bits mode

Copy the content of \Windows\SysWOW64\config\systemprofile\AppData\LocalLow\Sun\Java\jre1.6.0_17
on your server and install from it
(SysWoW64 is system32 for 32 bits mode, logical isn't it! )

since a long time I use the msi directly and have no problems with seven 64bits.
(not with this anyway :-)


This work for me on seven 64bits:
