Asked By Jose Mathias 40 points N/A Posted on - 10/30/2012

My machine is running on 64-bit Windows and I want to install Eclipse on it.

However, an error keeps it from being installed. Any ideas on how I can get it to work?

Error in Installation of Eclipse IDE

Hi Jose Mathias,

This is a bug in Eclipse.

This error mostly occurs on Windows 7 64-bit version.

Eclipse is not 100% compatible with Windows 7, 64 bit version.

It is okay on Windows Vista and Windows XP, 64bit versions.

Solutions

Install the 32 bit version of Eclipse. (This really works and I have personally done it).
