Eclipse: Java was started but returned error code=13 [duplicate] [message #1808408]

I have no clue what I'm doing wrong, when it comes to Eclipse. I have re-downloaded it number of times but still cannot get it to work. How could I fix this?

This is my eclipse.ini file

-startup
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.3.0.v20140415-2008.jar
--launcher.library
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86_64_1.1.200.v20140603-1326
-product
org.eclipse.epp.package.standard.product
--launcher.defaultAction
openFile
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
256M
-showsplash
org.eclipse.platform
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
256m
--launcher.defaultAction
openFile
-vm
C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.8.0_25\jre\bin
--launcher.appendVmargs

You're trying to run a 64 bit version of Eclipse with a 32 bit version of Java. If you'd used the installer, it would have detected this and directed you to install a 64 bit version of Java (if you don't already have such a thing installed on your machine). I can tell it's a 32 bit version of Java because it's in "C:\Program Files (x86)". It would be in "C:\Program Files" if it were 64 bit.
