problem installing the 64 bit (3.6.1) [message #630808]

When starting eclipse, it did not find Java. I manually added C:\Windows\SysWOW64 to the path. Now the program started but returned these messages (below). I have a 64 bit Windows 7 home premium. (the 32 bit version works fine both on this computer and on a 32 bit machine.) Any ideas?

Java was started but returned exit code=13
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\java.exe
-Xms40m
-Xmx384m
-XX:MaxPermSize=256m
-jar C:\eclipse\plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.1.0.v20100 507.jar

1) Don't attempt to run Eclipse off anything but a Sun JDK you've
freshly downloaded when you set up Eclipse. You can, but it's not in my
opinion "best practice". Right now, that means downloading, whether
32-bit or 64-bit, jdk1.6.0_21 from the Sun Java site. I even suggest
downloading and not actually installing the JDK, but keeping it as a
private copy for use only by Eclipse. This frees you from anything going
on in the rest of your computer host.

2) Remember: Ensure that your Eclipse and your JDK are of identical
bittedness.

3) I assume that the lack of a newline in your -mv argument above is an
artifact of copying and pasting. There should be one. See
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse.ini

I hope this helps.

It looks like you might be trying to run 32-bit Eclipse on a 64-bit
JVM/JDK. That won't work. Either use a 32-bit Java or download 64-bit
Eclipse.

I followed Russell Bateman advice and it worked. I loaded the 64 bit JDK as I should have. The Eclipse is and was the 64 bit all the time.

the problem in -vm line is not due to any error of mine, this is what the unzip/installation had, but I did not have to touch that at all.

Thank you all
ZA

If you don't feel that the information already given in the thread is
enough, consider perusing
http://www.javahotchocolate.com/tutorials/eclipse-summary.html

....or, come back to this forum and ask specific questions (not under
this thread, but under a new one you create).

Good answer! I had downloaded a 64-bit JRE & a 32-bit eclipse. Making the latter 64 bit solved the problem. Razz
