Does Windows 7 support MATLAB 6.5 versions? Windows 7 doesn't seem to have the msjava.dll in the systems 32 folder.

No. The earliest MATLAB support for Windows 7 was R2009a. Se here

2007b 64 bit works fine on Windows 7 64 bit

The whole "is supported on" Windows 7 is a question with multiple facettes!

Mainly, you need to look at impact of the architecture (Win32 vs. Win64) and not just the OS. But also Microsoft Office tools versions or C Compiler versions can be a topic. Be aware that even in case you manage to install and unsupported MATLAB release / OS combination and e.g.

bench(5)

runs - you can't be sure about the rest of the project. And according to Murphy's Law on the last day before your thesis is due, something comes up that makes you cry, like you can't create a MEX file from your code or the one cool graph doesn't display well.

In general, you man want to install an older OS and everything else in older versions if you really need it. But I personally would invest the time in upgrading everything!
