R help - Feb 2012 - rJava load failure, 64-bit R, 64-bit Java, R 2.14.1 (works fine on R 2.12.2 64-bit, same computer)

Hello R users,

I have encountered difficulty in attempting to load the package
"rJava" for 64-bit R 2.14.1. It appears that the problem is specific
(for my system) to this version of R. I had no trouble loading rJava on an
earlier version (2.12.2) of R.

N:\>java -version
java version "1.6.0_25"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_25-b06)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.0-b11, mixed mode)

I used the following to install rJava:
install.packages('rJava', .libPaths()[1],
'http://www.rforge.net/')
> library(rJava)
Error : .onLoad failed in loadNamespace() for 'rJava', details:
  call: inDL(x, as.logical(local), as.logical(now), ...)
  error: unable to load shared object 'C:/Program
Files/R/R-2.14.1/library/rJava/libs/x64/rJava.dll':
  LoadLibrary failure:  The specified path is invalid.

Error: package/namespace load failed for 'rJava'

The specified file is in fact present, and my R console says
"(64-bit)" at the top

I am aware of the following discussion on this topic:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2399027/cannot-load-rjava-because-cannot-load-a-shared-library

I have updated my path to include the following:
C:\Program Files\R\R-2.14.1\bin\x64
And
C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\

When I download the package and install from a local zip I get the following
error:
> library(rJava)
Error in get(Info[i, 1], envir = env) :
  cannot allocate memory block of size 2.9 Gb
Error: package/namespace load failed for 'rJava'

There should not be any memory issues:
> memory.limit()

Thank you!
