Hi,
I was trying to install the Eclipse on my PC for the first time. And I got
the following error messages:
- Unable to access jarfile startup.jar

Then I clicked "Ok", and there was another message:

JVM terminated. Exit code=1
C:\WINNT\system32\javaw.exe
-jar startup.jar
-os win32
-ws win32
-arch x86
-launcher <the location of Eclipse executable>
-name Eclipse
-showsplash 600
-exitdata 4e0_88
-vm C:\WINT\system32\javaw.exe
-vmargs
-jar starup.jar

Can someone please help me with some suggestions?

Thanks,
TR

You need to specify to Eclipse what JVM to use; in your case Eclipse is
defaulting to the javaw.exe in your Windows directory, which is
Micro$osft's crappy JRE and does not support Eclipse.
The Eclipse Help docs and numerous newsgroup postings talk about how to
specify a JVM to the Eclipse executable; I'm sure you can figure it out
with a little bit of research.

Hope this helps,
Eric
