Solved!! -Eclipse can not find my JRE-dir or javaw.exe/jvm.dll files

Hi  Im really stuck here:  Basics  Win7 64-bit  JDK (32 and 64-bit) newly installed in c:program files (x86)javajre6 and ..jre7  Android ADT and Eclipse newly installed  No jre directory installs into the Eclipse folder.  When running the eclipse.exe an error occurs:  "JRE and JDK must be available in ordeer to run Eclipse.  No JVM was found after searching the following locations  C:users....eclipsejre binjavaw.exe  javaw.exe in your current PATH"  ok. there is no .. ..jre directory in the Exlipse install directories  BUT,  if I copy and paste the jre folders and subfolder from my Java install to the ...eclipse directory  the above error is gone when trying to run the eclipse.exe, but this time the system generates Another error msg, something like "the jvm.dll could not be loaded... (but the lib file IS present under ..eclipsejre inclientjvm.dll  Is there a solution to this? when googling this issue I find thousands of these problems and thousands of remedies.  (Ive also tried to include the path in eclipse.ini and in setting the PATH environmental variable. No luck)  Anyone got a clue? /Thomas

You only need the JDK, unless I'm mistaken. I would uninstall and do a fresh install of your correct 32 or 64 bits to match and go from there. @GoNorthWest did an excellent video tutorial that will assist you.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFGF3_r9YIA  LA
kalkskalle Lost but trying Posts: 7 Reg: Apr 20, 2013 Stockholm 70	04/22/13 11:23 AM (3 years ago) Solved!  1) downloaded and installed 64-bit versions of both the ADT for Android (Eclipse) and JDK Java bundle  2)updated the PATH environmental variables (Win Control panel...System...advanced opt...Envir.variables)  In my case it now looks like this:  C:\Program\Java\jre7\bin\client\jvm.dll;C:\Program\Java\jdk1.7.0_21\bin  (no backslash after the \bin directory)  Hope this can help somebody else! /Thomas
