I download the newest Windows 64-bit Eclipse Classic version. I extracted the download to my Desktop using Winrar, but when I click on the eclipse.exe I get this error:

"A Java Runtime Environment (JRE) or Java Development Kit (JDK) must be available in order to run Eclipse. No Java virtual machine was found after searching the following locations: C:\Users\Steven\Desktop\eclipse\jre\bin\javaw.exe in your current PATH"

I then when into my C:\Program Files (x86)\Java and copied the jre and jdk folders into my eclipse folder. I then get this error:

"Failed to load the JNI shared library "C:\Users\Steven\Desktop\eclipse\jre\bin\client\jvm.dll""

I tried this with the newest version of eclipse as well as an older version of the classic and the newest IDE for Java Developers and I still got the same errors.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

"Failed to load the JNI shared library" jvm.dll

Possibly this?
http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/t/171274/

.... or that
http://superuser.com/questions/186001/eclipse-failed-to-load-the-jni-shared-library

.... or even the "important notes" that appear when downloading win64
eclipse:
This build requires a 64-bit JVM, and will not run with a 32-bit JVM.
You can, for example, use the Sun 64-bit 1.5 JVM for AMD64. Note
that the Sun 1.4.2 JVM for AMD64 is 32-bit and therefore cannot be
used to run this build.

.... or the top sticky post of this forum having the title "Trouble
getting Eclipse to run? READ THIS FIRST"

.... or about 3 times each week in this forum.
