In that case, maybe try simply writing the 'Program Files' part in 
the 8.3 format, this will always be the same, regardless of which 
machine you run your installer on.

In my experience, directories on two disparate machines will agree 
on the same 8.3 directory name, given an identical long filename.  
This would ensure that you don't hit the other versions of Java that
may be installed.
