com4j on Windows 64 bit


I've downloaded the latest com4j jars and I'm trying to run through the most simple of their examples.

I'm on Windows 7 64 bit and using a 64 bit JVM.

When I run the command (from the com4j tutorial):

java -jar tlbimp.jar -o wsh -p test.wsh %WINDIR%\system32\wshom.ocx

I get:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: com4j-amd64.dll: %1 is

The java code extracts "com4j-amd64.dll" next to the jar.
