I originally had an older version of Eclipse on a user that has since been deleted. When I try to install a new version within a new user, somehow the Eclipse Installer is searching for a directory that was stored with the deleted user. I'm not sure how it's even aware of the old user but I'm looking for a way to ignore the old user altogether and install directly to my new user.
If you copy and paste this topic description in Google the first StackOverflow page is exactly what I'm dealing with, but none of the suggestions listed have worked. (I'd copy the url but since I'm new I'm not allowed to.)
Attached is a screenshot of the error and the stacktrace.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Yes! That did the trick! Thanks!!!
Steps for successful install:
1. Delete .eclipse directory in new user
2. Attempt to install
3. Install fails with an error
3b. Delete the .p2 directory from new user (not sure if this affected anything)
4. The new install will have readded a .eclipse directory. In that directory, go to .eclipse/org.eclipse.oomph.p2
5. Edit the default.info file and change the first line so that it has the new user in it instead of the old
6. Attempt install again (should be successful this time)
Original default.info file contents
org.eclipse.oomph.setup.ui=/Users/<old user>/.p2/pool
org.eclipse.oomph.setup.ui\:agent=/Users/<new user>/.p2
Edited dafault.info file contents
org.eclipse.oomph.setup.ui=/Users/<new user>/.p2/pool
org.eclipse.oomph.setup.ui\:agent=/Users/<new user>/.p2
