10.8 does not install Java by default. Go to /Utilities/Java Prefereces.app and Launch it. You'll be prompted to install.

Already tried that says that 1.7 is installed, I managed to force a reinstall by deleting the Java install but after reinstalling came up with the same message as before that there is no Java runtime even though it is present in the Java Preferences app

The current Apple version is 1.6, so you must have installed the update from Adobe?

Also be sure to check mark "Enable apple plug-in..."

Unfortunately my Java Control panel does not look like that and does not have that tick option. I would like to uninstall everything and reinstall but heaving followed both instructions on the Java and Apple sites have been unable to restore anything but the latest version of Java that will not work with the apps I want to use. I can full back on my Virtual Linux install but this is not what I want to do.
