I installed the JRE in a directory called Java on the C:\ drive then I set the environmental variables. The msg I got on the command prompt when Tomcat is started through catalina_start.bat are the following;
[XAMPP]: Searching JDK HOME with reg query.....
ERROR: The system was unable to find the specified registry key or value.
.[XAMPP]: Cannot find the current JDK installation!
.[XAMPP]: Cannot set JAVA_HOME. Aborting.....
done.
Press any key to continue...
My XAMPP 1.7.7 is installed on Window 7

What you need, is called "JDK" (Java Developmen Kit"), but you have installed, is called "JRE" (Java Runtime Environment).
