Answer 2

Just uninstalled jre-32 bit version and It worked fine for me.

Answer 3

I just had the same issue, and spend about an hour trying to solve the problem. In the end it was a '#' character in the path.

So I renamed "C:\# IDE\eclipse 3.7\" to "C:\+ IDE\eclipse 3.7\" and that solved the problem.

Answer 4

for ones with Eclipse Neon

I wanted to run Eclipse Neon and had JRE 1.8 but JDK 1.7 It returned error=13 then I installed java JDK 1.8 and everything worked like a charm

Answer 5

simply install 64 bit version of JAVA from http://java.com/en/download/manual.jsp

and uninstall older version if prompted by the 64 bit installer

Answer 6

After java update, eclipse will not start because default jdk location has changed. Adding the following lines to eclipse.ini file solved my problem immediately:

-vm
C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.7.0_75\bin\javaw.exe

I added these lines just before vmargs. It looks like as the following :

...
--launcher.defaultAction
openFile
-vm
C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.7.0_75\bin\javaw.exe
-vmargs
-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.5
-Dhelp.lucene.tokenizer=standard
-Xms40m
-Xmx512m

For more information on eclipse.ini, visit this the site http://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse.ini#-vm_value:_Windows_Example

In my case, i use 32 bit eclipse and java. If you installed both 32 bit and 64 bit versions of java, be careful to choose the right version. For 64 bit versions, refer to the javaw.exe file under the directory

C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_60\bin
