Eclipse problem.

Greetings!

 

Ok, I'm trying to get eclipse to work, I have JDK/JRE latest installed, but I still get the following when attempting to open eclipse

 

A Java Runtime Envirnment (JRE) or Java Development Kit (JDK) must be avilable in order to run Eclipse. No Java virtual machine was found after searching in the following locations: C:\eclipse-SDK-3.5.1-win32\eclipse\bin\javaw.exe  javaw.exe in your current PATH

 

I know how to get into the path variables, but I don't know where I'm supposed to direct eclipse to look =\  Like where am I directing this? I've tried setting the path variable to C:\program files\java\jdk1.6.0_18\jre\bin\javaw.exe  but it's not working.  The damn eclipse just wants to look in it's own folder and won't look anywhere else like to the path "C:\program files\java\jdk1.6.0_18\bin\" or "C:\program files\java\jdk1.6.0_18\bin\javaw.exe" but i've even tried the second one, even though it's supposed to be directed to the path bin folder.

 

EDIT: I just noticed I'm using a eclipse 32-bit version with a 64-bit java platform, I'm going to download the eclipse 64 bit and try that, will post back results.

 

Thanks for any support provided!  8)

Solved my own problem. 2:13am, Zzz...Changed variables and used a 64-bit eclipse.  Self solved, this can be deleted or left as reference to anybody else who has the same problem.
