Running java in 32-bit mode on Windows 64

Question

I need to run java in 32-bit mode under Windows 8.1 64 bit.

I installed java 7 jre under c:\Program Files\Java\jre7(64bit JVM) and under c:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7(32bit JVM).

However, if I issue from cmd java -d32 -version, I get this error:

Error: This Java instance does not support a 32-bit JVM.
Please install the desired version.

Without a switch, -d32it confirms its work as a 64-bit JVM:

Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_51-b13)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.51-b03, mixed mode)

So, I opened the java control panel and added a 32-bit JVM to the installed JRE user (the system tab does not allow me to change anything, even if it works as an administrator), but nothing changes.

I read several user posts saying that with java 7+, the mode -d32should be supported, but I can not get it. Can someone help me?
