Oracle Demantra 7.3.1.5.0 Installation Issue

Question

Dear All,
I have a Win 7 64 Bit OS on my Laptop with 16 GB Memory and Core i7 Processor.
I Downloaded both 32 bit and 64 Bit Windows based Oracle Demantra 7.3.1.5.0 versions from Oracle's E-delivery Successfully.
Prior to the Installation of Oracle Demantra 7.3.1.5.0 using Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0
I created the required Tablespaces as
create tablespace TS_DP datafile 'F:\oracle\product\10.2.0\oradata\test\ts_dp01.dbf' size 1000M;
create tablespace TS_SALES_DATA datafile 'F:\oracle\product\10.2.0\oradata\test\ts_sales_data01.dbf' size 500M;
create tablespace TS_SALES_DATA_X datafile 'F:\oracle\product\10.2.0\oradata\test\ts_sales_data_x01.dbf' size 100M;
create tablespace TS_SIM datafile 'F:\oracle\product\10.2.0\oradata\test\ts_sim01.dbf' size 500M;
create tablespace TS_SIM_X datafile 'F:\oracle\product\10.2.0\oradata\test\ts_sim_x01.dbf' size 100M;
create tablespace TS_SALES_DATA_ENGINE datafile 'F:\oracle\product\10.2.0\oradata\test\ts_sales_data_engine01.dbf' size 500M;
create tablespace TS_SALES_DATA_ENGINE_X datafile 'F:\oracle\product\10.2.0\oradata\test\ts_sales_data_engine_x01.dbf' size 100M;
All Tablespaces are create successfully.
Also I set the system JAVA environment variable as
JAVA_HOME with value as %JAVA_HOME%\bin;F:\oracle\Middleware\jdk160_24;C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.5.0_22
(Earlier I used jdk1.6 for Middleware which I removed using Add Remove from control Panel).
As per the Java requirement for Demantra (which requires - JDK 1.5.0_22 only) I Installed. jdk-1_5_0_22-windows-i586-p.exe and jre-1_5_0_22-windows-i586-p.exe. During the Java JDK Installation I get the following error
Java Virtual Machine Launcher
Could not find the main class. Program will exit.
After JDK Installation in spite of the main class error. I started Demantra 64 Bit 7.3.1.5.0 setup.exe installation
It goes fine with all the wizard steps of selecting the user, jdbc connection, database validations, standard applications,
user execution until it comes across the following error during installing wizard step as :
Failed to Install JDK
Failed to complete JDK 1.5.0_22 Installation.
Please Install JDK 1.5.0_22 manually.
Further it looks for Adobe installation too, where I find the next button grayed out. and the installation stops unless cancel
button is pressed.
I tried even installing thru Demantra 32 Bit 7.3.1.5.0 setup.exe  (same error for both 32 bit and 64 bit too)
What can be the root cause of the error :
1) Is it because of the JDK Error (Could not find the main class. Program will exit)
2) Is Oracle Demantra  7.3.1.5.0 setup.exe certified to be installed in Win 7 64 Bit or 32 Bit ?
3) Do I need to Install JDK before Demantra Install. (As mentioned in the document demantra installs JDK too)
4) Is the system Environment Variable as
    %JAVA_HOME%\bin;F:\oracle\Middleware\jdk160_24;C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.5.0_22
      Correct or Wrong ?
I have been trying the Installation of Java and Demantra umpteen times,thru various screen shot and documents,
for last 5 days,  still the same issue ?
What is the correct Java version for Demantra 32 Bit 7.3.1.5.0 and Demantra 64 Bit 7.3.1.5.0
What is the overall root cause of the installation failure.
Thanks
