eclipse failed to load JNI shared library [message #1092168]

Does anybody know why eclipse is failing to load for me. I checked my system and it is a 64 bit and I have both eclipse and java JDK as a 64 bit. It says,

Failed to load the JNI shared library "C:/Program Files/Java/jdk1.7.0_25/bin/../jre/bin/client/jvm.dll".

I will have my eclipse.ini file attached to this message. Please if you can tell me step by step how to fix it. I will still appreciate any help though. Please help! Thank you.

Hello,
Even if you have installed a java JDK 64 bits, you may have another 32 bits JDK/JRE installed, and that one might be the default.
I suggest adding the -vm argument to your eclipse.ini and see if that helps, something like
-vm
path\to\Java\JDK\64\jre\bin\javaw.exe

I usually add this line at the very beginning of the file. And I always add an new line between -vm and the path, as shown above.

Hope this helps.

I checked my "Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_25" install and there is no
"client" folder under "jre\bin". There is only the "server" folder
containing a "jvm.dll". It appears this JDK doesn't include the
"client" JVM. I'm not sure what is coming up with the non-existent JVM
as the one to try to execute. I think the -vm approach Roberto mentions
is your best workaround.

Cheers,
Larry
