You are probably going to have to write some java code to use the Win32RegistryService class to get the value out of the registry. Once you have the value you can pass it into the variable that you created.

There should be a "Get Windows Registry Entry" action you can use; you might also search the lists of IA variables and LAX variables for those pertaining to JVM usage.
