You may want to search here for an answer: https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/f/89/

Also, there's a chance that your problem would never occur if you use the Eclipse Installer, instead of a package download.

Use the Eclipse Installer and the current error will disappear. This is how I handle the problem.

Yes, the installer checks the system for installed versions of Java and will either use a correct one (while offering choices of all available correct ones), or will tell you to install a correct one. It's clear that above you are using a 32 bit version of Java installed in C\:Program Files (86x)\ whereas a 64 bit version would be installed in C:\Program Files\. The latest Eclipse versions no not support 32 bit anymore.
