Addition to actunderdc answer:

He is right. There is a bug if there is a space in the installation path. If you want to install in the Program Files folder, you can use the windows shortnames.

Find the shortname of the folder in cmd by using dir /X. For C:\Program Files it is something like PROGRAM~1.

When you got the shortname, you can add the folowing at the top of your eclipse.ini File in the same directory of the eclipse.exe

-launcher C:\PROGRAM~1\eclipse\jee\photon

Make sure to adjust it to your installation path. After you have done this, marketplace can be opened. But when I open Help -> About -> Instalation Details -> Configuration it shows me two -launcher parameters with the long and the short name. I don't know, if it could cause sideeffects.

I opened a Bugreport at bugs.eclipse.org.
