Features for Java 7 ie: It is not a finalised version yet. That generally means it is equivalent to a beta or alpha version. (build 1.7.0-b14) suggests a beta version.
On Windows 7, I downloaded Java 1.7 64 bit, right-clicked & chose run as Admin, then installed. LPE ran fine.
On Windows XP, a different story. Same as yours. I'd suggest downgrading back to Java 1.6 for now until Java is 'officially' released. I suspect the 32-bit version Java is lacking some full abilities at present. Perhaps certificates or such.
However, Phex seems to run fine under Java 1.7 on Windows XP.
