OBIEE 11.1.1.6.3 Windows WLS install: UnsatisfiedLinkError jni_winx64

Question

For OBIEE 11.1.1.6.3, do we need to install wls first as a separate step before running the setup.exe from the extracted Zip files? I followed the instructions in the release notes:
https://stbeehive.oracle.com/teamcollab/wiki/BI+Applications+Infrastructure:BIAPPSSHIPHOME+upgrade+to+11.1.1.6.3+for+BIAPPS+dev+team
When I ran the wls1-36_generic.jar and got the following error:
Exception in thread "winRegistry" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Expecting an absolute path of the library: jni_winx64
at java.lang.Runtime.load0(Unknown Source)
at java.lang.System.load(Unknown Source)

I searched thru the forums. The most common reason was people were running zip instead of jar and the version of java.
I have sun 64 bit 1.6.0_32 java and am running the jar file. Also I do not have any spaces in the java or the wls installer jar.
The command I use to run is java –jar c:\OBIEEInstall\wls1036_generic.jar.
I do have java home set and path set to point to java. What else do I need to resolve this issue?

I just tried a simple install of WSL by running the Setup.exe from Disk1 and get errors during domain creation:
