The thread you linked contains the two perfectly valid answers. Why didn't you use those? — eis, Sep 26 '13 at 06:24
Is it showing exactly the same error message saying `No Java virtual machine was found after searching the following locations` ? If so, there are already plenty of solution in the question you quoted. If the error is different, tell us what it is — Adrian Shum, Sep 26 '13 at 06:26
@AdrianShum Same message and I tried some of the suggestion that was presented in the thread I provided but everytime I follow an advice, it keeps on bringing the same message. — hherklj kljkljklj, Sep 26 '13 at 06:28
So, is it showing the same error? I can't even see the `-vm` argument as suggested in the answer of the question you quoted — Adrian Shum, Sep 26 '13 at 06:29
that's tell Adrian also works if you put you jdk's directory at your path. — ZaoTaoBao, Sep 26 '13 at 06:44

this solution is a little bit strange, but works for me..I have exactly your eclipe.ini.. and some time ago i find out the same error and i copy javaw.exe to the eclipse folder..i everything works prefectly. You can find javaw.exe at you java path for example: C:\Archivos de programa\Java\jdk1.6.0_29\bin
