Installing

Note that the decompression utility that is built into Windows XP™ and Windows Vista™, does not always work successfully with the long file names contained in Eclipse ZIP files. This problem may manifest as an error or with Windows™ asking you for a password. Eclipse ZIP files are not password protected.

If you do encounter problems decompressing Eclipse on Windows, consider either decompressing the file into the root directory (thereby shorting the path for file names), or use a more robust decompression utility such as 7-Zip.
