Eclipse is not starting on Windows 7

Question

Our company is making the move to Windows 7. After receiving the upgrade, Eclipse will no longer start on anyones machine. I first tried with 3.4 and I also tried the latest

Answer 1

I submitted a bug on the Eclipse site and it was determined that I need to execute Eclipse like so (Assuming Eclipse is installed at c:\eclipse):

eclipse.exe -eclipse.keyring C:\eclipse\keyring.txt

When Eclipse is first executed my workspace defaults to C:\eclipse\%userprofile%\workspace. For some reason, the user profile can't be determined on the installation of Windows 7 Enterprise Edition that I have. VonC you were on the right track with the parsing issue.

Description of what the above command is doing:

From what I understand, it sets the Equinox secure storage location. Perhaps your % discrepancy is the cause of your problems, I don't know.

Here is the URL to the bug:
