Trouble with starting Eclipse [message #673865]

NOTE:This is the java version of Eclipse on a Windows 7 computer.

When I try to run the Eclipse.exe file, I get a dialog box that says "The Eclipse executable launcher was unable to locate its companion shared library."

I already tried adding a path to the vm in the .ini file.

Here are the contents of my .ini file:

=====================================================================================
-startup
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.1.1.R36x_v20101122_1400.jar
--launcher.library
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86_64_1.1.2.R36x_v20101222
-product
org.eclipse.epp.package.java.product
--launcher.defaultAction
openFile
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
256M
-showsplash
org.eclipse.platform
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
256m
--launcher.defaultAction
openFile
-vm
C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin\javaw.exe
-vmargs
-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.5
-Xms40m
-Xmx384m
=====================================================================================

What should I do?

Did you bother to search the web for that error message? There are
plenty of discussions about it, including solutions that have worked for
people.
Try unzipping the eclipse download with something other than Windows'
built-in ZIP utility.
