A JRE or JDK must be available in order to run Eclipse. No JVM was found after searching the following locations

Question

Eclipse is unable to open, have used eclipse before and has open before without a problem. Now I keep getting the following error message:

A Java Runt

Answer 1

Here is how I fixed mine:

1. find the location where your jre is installed. in my case, it was located at C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_10

2. copy the jre folder and paste it where your eclipse files are located (where eclipse.exe is located).

when you download eclipse, you get a .zip package containing eclipse.exe and all the other files needed to run eclipse but it is missing the jre files. so all you need to do is to find where jre folder is located on your hard drive and add it to the rest of the eclipse package.
