All,
I am trying to install Eclipse Europa. I just downloaded it. The
installation program initiates, the nice screen stating eclipse europa
with the copyright appears and then.....nothing. I'm running Windows XP
SP2. I have searched this forum and read part of the installation guide.
But I didn't see an answer. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Ken

First thing to check is that it unzipped correctly. Did you use the
Windows built-in zip or a third-party program? Mark Dexter

This may be caused by the line

-Dosgi.bundlefile.limit=100

in the eclipse.ini file. Could you please remove that line and try it again?

Thanks

Does the splash screen stay visible, or go away? Does the progress bar
at the bottom of the splash screen advance at all? Did it ever prompt
you for a workspace location?
Can you find any .log in the Eclipse directory?
Finally, try specifying the exact JVM you want to run Eclipse with, by
adding something like the following to your eclipse.ini file (note that
line breaks are critical):

-vm
D:\Java\JDK\6.0\bin\javaw.exe
-vmargs
-Xms40m
-Xmx512m


Hope this helps,
Eric
