I just downloaded the most recent version of the Eclipse Installer (https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/oomph/epp/2019-06/R/eclipse-inst-win64.exe) from your website.
Prior to that, I installed an (unofficial) OpenJDK build (https://github.com/ojdkbuild/ojdkbuild/releases/download/java-12-openjdk-12.0.2.9-1/java-12-openjdk-12.0.2.9-1.windows.ojdkbuild.x86_64.msi).
After installation, the command "java -version" generates the following output:
openjdk version "12.0.2-ojdkbuild" 2019-07-16
OpenJDK Runtime Environment 19.3 (build 12.0.2-ojdkbuild+9)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM 19.3 (build 12.0.2-ojdkbuild+9, mixed mode, sharing)
(Note: the "-d64" switch does not seem to be supported by my JRE.
Immediately after attempting to run the Eclipse Installer, I get the following messagebox:
---------------------------
Eclipse Installer
---------------------------
A Java Runtime Environment (JRE) or Java Development Kit (JDK) must be available in order to run Eclipse Installer. No Java virtual machine was found after searching the following locations: C:\Program Files\ojdkbuild\java-12-openjdk-12.0.2-1" --\bin
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------
The JRE folder displayed in this message seems to be incorrect. What am I doing wrong here? Is there a way to explicitly specify the correct JRE folder for the installer?
Operating system: Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.18362.295]
(Note: I do not even want to consider using a Java SE runtime environment from Oracle.)
Thank You very much in advance.

Hi Ed. Thanks for the response. Nice tip about the -vm installer option. I will keep it in mind.
However, I didn't need to use that option, because shortly after posting my message, I had been able to continue my installation. It seemed, that when I clicked the downloaded installer from within my browser's (Firefox) recent downloads, I got that strange error. But if I executed the installer by double clicking it in an Explorer window, it worked just fine. (I use a 64-bit Firefox version as well, so that should not be the issue. Very strange...)
Anyway, I am able now to dive into Eclipse. Thanks again. :)
