Solution Satement:

===========

The error appears while running the OPATCH utility because, you have performed SIMPLE install on your 64 bit Windows server 2008 OS.
When a simple install is used a 32 bit JDK is used during install even though the win64 installer is used. This is because the WLS is installed by default with 32 bit JDK.

The only workaround to get rid of this issue is to download a JDK for 64 bit and use it to run opatch. Once done,
run opatch with -jdk option:

>opatch lsinventory -jdk <64 bit jdk location>

and OPATCH should work fine.

Please apply the patch using the OPATCH utility as mentioned in the patch readme.
