  • I already went through that "possible duplicate" but no comment helped me... BTW the -vm and path are in seperate lines in my file – user1509748 Jul 08 '12 at 09:04

If you downloaded a 64 bit package of Eclipse, then your Java VM must be 64 bit (and that is independent of your Windows bitsize). But you point to a JVM for 32 bit using the Program Files (x86) path.

Please download and install the 64 bit Java instead and point to that location afterwards in your eclipse.ini.

  • the java jdk is already installed.. could i dl the 32bit version of eclipse instead.. i also have android SDK which didnt say if its 32 or 64 bit platform.. do u have an idea about the latest version of it ?? http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html – user1509748 Jul 08 '12 at 11:12
  • ok i downloaded the 32 bit version of eclipse and got the same error saying: "A JRE or JDK must be available in order to run eclipse, no JVM was found at the following path..." – user1509748 Jul 08 '12 at 11:29

Have you tried to include the VM path in double-quotes like:

-vm "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.7.0_04\bin\javaw.exe"

Then you should try to exchange the backslashes by slashes:

-vm "C:/Program Files (x86)/Java/jdk1.7.0_04/bin/javaw.exe"

Instead of manipulating your eclipse.ini file, you could define a startup shortcut or batch file for it. Contents could be:

<path to eclipse>\eclipse.exe -vm "c:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.7.0_04\bin\javaw.exe"

And yes, your ini file was one of 64bit eclipse distro ...

  • ok i put the path in double quotes and now there is a different error but i think we're almost there.. this is the printscreen: http://s14.postimage.org/ft310fkg1/Capture.jpg it says there is no JVM although its there and the link is correct – user1509748 Jul 08 '12 at 10:24
  • I believe the -vm switch must be on the first line of the eclipse.ini file. Also, the path should be on the next line. Not on the same line as the switch. – Konstantin Komissarchik Jul 08 '12 at 23:31
  • did that. still doesnt work.... – user1509748 Jul 09 '12 at 10:46
