Hi everyone-
I am trying to set up my machine to run Eclipse and have encountered a lot of errors. After troubleshooting I have now succeeded in getting it the "try" to start but I get shot down now at the following error...
Quote:

Failed to load the JNI shared library "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin\client\jvm.dll"

Below is my current ini file


-startup
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.2.0.v20110502.jar

--launcher.library
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86_64_1.1.100.v20110502
-product
org.eclipse.epp.package.java.product

-vm
C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin\client\jvm.dll
--launcher.defaultAction
openFile

--launcher.XXMaxPermSize

and I guess I should have looked a few minutes more before posing this *doh* I was not pointing to the exe- Now I am getting an error but reading through it it is throung out win os 32 and I am running 64 so I am guessing my versions do not match- I will follow up

Edit:
*following up*
The I have verified I am running java for 64bit and I when I downloaded eclipse I picked 64bit... I have no clue what the problem is... I will attach the message thrown...

*following up following up*
I pointed my ini to look in program files not program file x86 and it works now

How did you verify that you're launching a 64-bit Java VM?

i guess i *didn't* i just managed to get it working which is all I care about @ this point lol

Once I am more familiar with the IDE I will refine it to verify that java is 64bit and eclipse is as well
