title: Difficulties starting JVM in Python using jpype
body: <p>I have been using jpype to integrate with some java code using python lately and have been having no real issues. I am now attempting to set up my stack on a new system and am running into difficulties. </p>
  
  <p>I am running 32-bit Python 3.6.5 and 32-bit oracle Java 1.8 update 171. Python and jpype have been installed using conda (<code>conda create -n venv -c conda-forge python jpype1 arrow</code>), and  </p>
  
  <p><code>jpype.getDefaultJVMPath()</code> returns the expected path (<code>C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_171\bin\client\jvm.dll</code>), however an exception is raised stating that it could not find the module. The output from the python console below.</p>
  
  <pre><code>Python 3.6.5 | packaged by conda-forge | (default, Apr  6 2018, 16:13:16) [MSC v.1900 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
  Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
  &gt;&gt;&gt; import jpype
  &gt;&gt;&gt; import os
  &gt;&gt;&gt; jpype.__version__
  '0.6.3'
  &gt;&gt;&gt; jvm_path=jpype.getDefaultJVMPath()
  &gt;&gt;&gt; jvm_path
  'C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Java\\jre1.8.0_171\\bin\\client\\jvm.dll'
  &gt;&gt;&gt; os.path.exists(jvm_path)
  True
  &gt;&gt;&gt; jpype.startJVM(jvm_path)
  Traceback (most recent call last):

  <p>What am I missing and/or doing wrong here?</p>
