Question

I just downloaded eclipse-java-helios-SR2-win32-x86_64.zip extracted the zip. When i\'m trying to run i get error:

Answer 1

I just had this problem after updating from Java 7u17 to Java 7u21. I first tried editing eclipse.ini, but that did't work. I then re-downloaded and re-installed the JRE and then it worked!

I'm guessing the JRE install was somehow corrupted, and so Eclipse tried to use the fallback jvm of C:\Windows\System32\java.exe

Hope this helps others with the same issue.
