I am trying to install Eclipse on this computer but gives me an error

---------------------------
Incompatible JVM
---------------------------
Version 1.7.0_75 of the JVM is not suitable for this product. Version: 1.8 or greater is required.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

Except my java is already up to date. Tried to follow some topics with the same problem, but all of them say to edit eclipse .ini files and so, but I am using the installer .exe, so nothing else to do.

I took a screenshot showing the java version, error and the file i am trying to execute

Thank you!

That's a 64-bit Eclipse. You'll need to explicitly download and install the 64-bit Java 8.

If you use the installer, it gives a link to the web page where you can download and install the latest Java SDK. http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index-jsp-138363.html

I just tried to install eclipse on my Mac running OS X Yosemite 10.10.5 and got the same error that my JVM needs to be updated. I updated to java 8. I didn't see an explicit option for 64bit but the downloaded file said it was 64bit. So I installed it successfully and had the java website confirm I'm running Java 8. But I still get the same error. I've rebooted but still the same error. Any ideas what I do to resolve this? Thank you for your help!

Which file did you download? For the Mac, you should install a full JDK and not just a JRE.

Nitin Dahyabhai you were spot on, I only downloaded the JRE, not the full JDK. Downloading the JDK resolved the problem.

Thank you very much!!!
