Eclipse installation problem

When I try to run eclipse.exe it shows an error message that JNI shared library "C:\Program Files/(x86)\jre7\bin\client\jvm.dll" has failed to load. I've tried to change the Path property of Computer but that does not seem to help. Can someone help me to complete the installation of Eclipse?

I've also had some issues when installing eclipse the first time, which had to do with the path name (the "space" in the folder name Program Files(x86) seems to be poison for eclipse), and permissions.

What worked for me was to uninstall eclipse, and when reinstalling, I chose to install it in a custom folder of C:\

In my case that was *C:\eclipseMB*

Not installing it in the default Program Files(x86) folder made all the difference.

I hope this will help you! Good Luck

Hi Masum, Thanks for the tip. I've tried reinstalling eclipse and using a custom folder and it has worked. Take care, Keith
