I am running windows 8(not 8.1) 64 bit system and whenever i try to open minecraft it says:

Launch4j

The registry refers to a nonexistent Java runtime environment installation or the runtime is corrupted

the system cannot find the path specified.

I hope someone can help

Well it plain should be sorta obvious what to do. Reinstall java.

http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp

Get Java 7 64 bit and 32 bit (as required if use Java in web browser, optional).

No, it is optional. An if you reinstalled 64 bit java 7; this problem shouldn't exist.
You may have an environment path issue.

Follow the directions in that thread first.

Well all is certainly fine there.

Open command prompt. (Can just hold Shift > Right click on desktop > Open Command Prompt)

Then type java -version and see what that gives. Don't forget can copy and paste the response it gives (right click in window, select all and CTRL + C then paste here, remove directory stuff such as C:\Users\Username\Desktop yadda yadda).

>java -version
java version "1.7.0_67"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_67-b01)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.65-b04, mixed mode)

Why is it "`D:\Tools\lib\amd64\jvm.cfg'

Are you changing the java install path?

This seems really odd and abnormal.

None, it should be auto defaulting to `C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\lib\amd64\jvm.cfg', not `D:\Tools\lib\amd64\jvm.cfg'.

Does anything exist in `D:\Tools\lib\amd64\jvm.cfg' ?

Odd setup, could cause issues in future if static directories.

But you should be fine if CMD is giving that now when doing java -version.
