Eclipse Error, Launcher was unable to locate library [message #1233081]

Hey guys,
I downloaded the 64-bit standart version of Eclipse and now this Error appears:

The Eclipse executable launcher was unable to locate its companion shared library

I have 64-bit Windows 8, 64-bit Java.
eclipse.ini should be in the File Attachments.

Thank you for your help,
Soerili
P.S. I'm sorry for my bad english since I'm not a native speaker Smile

Are you sure it's using the 64-bit Java. Do you have a 32-bit one installed? Do you have the right permissions on the eclipse directory and its contents?

I've looked at your eclipse.ini and it looks like you are using a 32-Bit Eclipse version with a 64-Bit JDK because of:

Quote:

plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86_1.1.100.v20110502

for 64Bit Eclipse it schould looks like:
Quote:

plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86_64_1.1.200.v20130807-1835

(I use Kepler)

I would recommend you to download a 64-Bit Eclipse version if you want to use a 64-Bit JDK.

Ty guys,
I just needed to change the .ini into a "64-bit version" and then everything was fine. I had Eclipse 64-bit, but I changed the .ini :/
Thanks for your help
