Error during installation of Eclipse Indigo [message #895630]

Hi,
I have a Windows 7 (64 bit) computer. I downloaded eclipse-jee-indigo-SR2-win32-x86-64.exe and installed eclipse on my computer.
I also have Java 1.7.0_05 (64 bit) on my computer. But when I start eclipse, I get the following error message

Java was started but returned exit code 13

When I googled, all I could find was the error message is because of an incompatibility between the JVM , but as far as I can tell they are in synch.

Any ideas ?

Thanks
Kirthiga N

Have you tried specifying which JVM Eclipse should use with a -vm argument?

Hi,
I fixed the issue, looks like even though my OS windows 7 is a 64 bit OS, only a 32 bit Eclipse runs successfully.

Steps taken to fix the issue
1.Install 32 bit Eclipse Indigo
2.Install Java 1.5 32 bit
3.Update eclipse.ini to modify the following properties
From
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
256M

To
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
512M

From
-Xmx512m

To
-Xmx768m

Eclipse starts successfully now. Thanks.
