I downloaded and unzipped eclipse-cpp-juno-win32-x86-64.zip. I have Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_07-b06) installed. Whenever I launce eclipse.exe I get an errror dialog displayed stating "The Eclipse executable launcher was unable to locate its companion shared library. I get the same error message when using eclipse downloaded with eclipse-jee-juno-SR1-win32-x86_64.zip. I've tried searching the eclipse executable for the shared library name, but was unable to find a string matching a shared library (*.dll). The eclipse.ini file has reference to a launcher.library entry. The path listed with the launcher.library exists with an eclipse_1503.dll file within it. I tried adding the dll file name to the path, but it didn't solve the problem. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

John,

Is the JRE being used by your launcher (and used within your IDE as the
target) also a 64 bit JRE?

Although I'm not using windows much, this error happened to me as well
when I unzipped eclipse into a deep folder structure (don't remember the
number of folders...)

have you tried unzipping it, let's say, into C:\ directly?

hope this helps
Lorenzo
