Hi Spencer,
Why don't you want to install 64bit Java?
That may be a reasonable approach.
I may have Java confused with something else, but I remember
hearing that it was difficult or unwise to try to install both 32- and
64-bit versions of something like Java or Java Script on the same
Windows operating system. If I need to uninstall 32-bit Java to install
64-bit, who knows what else I could break. I'm a statistician, not an
information technologist: If I spend more time playing with Java, I'll
have less time for other things I want to do.
Thanks for the reply.

Hello, All:
What do you recommend for reading a Google Spreadsheet into R? I didn't find
anything useful using library(sos); findFn('google spreadsheet').
I can solve the problem by downloading the file either as *.ods or *.xlsx
format, then opening it and saving it as *.xls, then using read.xls{gdata}.
Alternatives I haven't tried use read.xlsx{xlsx} and
readWorksheetFromFile{XLConnect} with 32-bit R. Neither of these work for me
with 64-bit R, because they can't find an appropriate rJava on my computer;
see below. (I've been using 64-bit R with Emacs, so switching to 32-bit R is
not completely trivial.) Similarly, read.gnumeric.sheet{gnumeric} requires
the "external program, ssconvert", which seems not to be available on my
computer or installed for 64-bit R.
What do you suggest? Avoid 64-bit R unless I really need it? That seems to
be the message I'm getting from this. (The writeFindFn2xls{sos} also works
in 32-bit R but fails in 64-bit apparently for the same reason.)
Thanks,
Spencer
