[FIXED] Eclipse installer can't find JRE

Issue

I am trying to install Eclipse Oxygen on my computer. Every time I run the installer I am sent here:

http://download.eclipse.org/oomph/jre/?vm=1_1_7_0_64_0&pn=Eclipse%20Installer&pu=http://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse_Installer&pi=http://download.eclipse.org/oomph/jre/128x128.png

I have installed JDK 1.8.0 in this location: C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.8.0_144

What should I do?

Solution

You are using the 64 bit Eclipse Installer which requires a 64 bit JRE, but you only have a 32 bit JRE (C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.8.0_144 means Java 8 Update 144 32 bit JDK):

• Either use the 32 bit Eclipse Installer or
• Install a 64 bit JRE or JDK or
• direct install an Eclipse Package (as long as you have only a 32 bit JRE you have to choose the 32 bit version) without the Eclipse Installer.
