I am using a 64 Bit Eclipse version and a 64 Bit JDK and still get exit code=13

Details:

* OS: MS Windows 7 64 Bit

* Eclipse SDK 3.7.0 (eclipse-SDK-3.7-win32-x86_64.zip - why does it say win32 although it is the 64 Bit version?)

* jdk1.6.0_19 (java -version reports 64 Bit Server VM)

* eclipse.ini:
"
-startup
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.2.0.v20110502.jar
--launcher.library
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86_64_1.1.100.v20110502
-showsplash
org.eclipse.platform
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
256m
--launcher.defaultAction
openFile
-vm
C:\jdk1.6.0_19\bin\javaw.exe
-vmargs
-Xms40m
-Xmx384m
"

* Error Message at start-up:
"
Java was started but returned exit code=13
"
What I don't understand later in the error message:
"
-os win32
"

* When I omit the -vm option in eclipse.ini, Eclipse would start but I get the error message:
"
Eclipse is running in a JRE, but a JDK is required
"
Also, installation details -> configuration says:
"
-vm
C:\Windows\system32\javaw.exe
"

Who can help me in this 64Bit / 32Bit mess?

Thanks
Bernhard
