Helios 64 bit windows 7 javaw access is denied [message #559012]

I have a windows 7 64bit laptop with core i7. I have installed the Helios Eclipse package and jdk 6 update 22. I also set eclipse to run as administrative user. Eclipse starts up fine but when I try to run or debug a very simple hello world app i get following error..."launching hello has encountered a problem. Exception occurred executing command line. Cannot run program c:\jdk1.6.0_21\bin\javaw.exe in directory c:\workspace\hello: CreateProcess error=5, Access is denied." any ideas anyone?

what about installing java in your home directory and setting the
runtime explicitely inside eclipse to point to that installation?

That link is for when you can't launch eclipse. My issue is I can launch it but when I try to execute java prog that's when I get the issue. Any other ideas?

I followed the instructions in the article...
http:// jeffdickman.com/2010/07/installing-eclipse-64bit-on-windows- 7-64bit/

And added the following VM option to the eclipse.ini file...

-vm
C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\javaw.exe

And this solved the issue - don't know exactly why but it must have given the access denied error message becuase it was using a different JRE...wierd.

Hope this helps someone as this caused me days of headache!
