Very strange. I tried to reproduce this problem, so I downloaded this installer (for the current latest release):

https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/oomph/epp/2019-09/R/eclipse-inst-win64.exe

Then I downloaded JDK 11.0.5 and I ran the installer like this (from a bash shell) to use exactly JDK 11.0.5:

./eclipse-inst-win64\(39\).exe -vm "C:/Program Files/Java/jdk-11.0.5/bin/javaw.exe"

But that starts fine for me. I'm in Windows 7 Pro, but I don't think that should make a difference...

The following installer is slightly newer so there's a chance that this might work better (though I doubt it):

http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/oomph/products/eclipse-inst-win64.exe

It's also possible that Windows Defender is blocking something.

Alternatively you could also try to download and unzip a package from this page:

https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/

And hope that running the IDE itself doesn't fail the same way as the installer fails, but it seems likely to fail the same way...

Why from a bash shell?

Of course one can do it from any shell, but the Windows shell is horrible in the first place and the bash shell supports vi key bindings to make it much easier to edit the command. :-P
