Newly installed Eclipse does not recognize Java [message #885583]

I have downloaded the CDT 8.0.2 for Eclipse Indigo package (from the Eclipse website, I cannot place a link now) and unzipped it.

I have installed the latest JRE: Java Runtime Environment 7u5 (from the Oracle website, I cannot place a link now).

If I run "C:\Program Files (x86)\Eclipse\eclipse.exe", it says No Java Virtual Machine was found after searching ...
If I run "C:\Program Files (x86)\Eclipse\eclipse.exe" -vm "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\bin", it says: Failed to load the JNI shared library "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\bin\client\jvm.dll". The dll file is in that directory however.
If I run "C:\Program Files (x86)\Eclipse\eclipse.exe" -vm "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\bin\javaw.exe", it says: Java was started but returned exit code = 13 and -Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.5. Since I downloaded the latest JRE, what does this error mean?

Can someone hint me what I am doing wrong and how to solve this?

Maybe you are mixing 32-bit with 64-bit?
