Hey all,

I'm new to the installation here but when I launch Eclipse.exe for the first time it says it can't find my JRE installation - although I have double-checked that I do in fact have Oracle JRE 7.51 newly installed.

Is this just an issue with the Path, and how do I remedy that?

You appear to be trying to run a 64 bit Eclipse on a 32 bit JVM. You
need to switch one of them. Both Eclipse and the JVM need to be the
same bit size.
