Rather than brute force searching for an interpreter, you could try
looking in the Windows registry for the setting that *tells* you where
the java runtime is.

Gives some information on using the Sun JRE
On my Win2k machine, I've found that
HKLM\Software\Applications\java.exe\shell\open\command =
C:\Program Files\JavaSoft\JRE\1.3.0_01\bin\javaw.exe -jar %1
Sun's JRE 1.3 environment sets
HKLM\Software\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment\1.3\JavaHome =
C:\Program FIles\JavaSoft\JRE\1.3.0_02
Presumably the other javas do the same, or barring that, you could
brute force search from C:\Program Files, rather than the root of C:
