When starting Eclipse I get the following error:

error

Obviously it’s trying to use javaw.exe from system32-folder, which it shouldn’t I guess. I’ve set the environment-vars to the following:

JAVA_HOME : “C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_07;C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.7.0_07”

Path : “… ;C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.7.0_07\bin;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_07\bin”

and I added -vm C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7…\bin\javaw.exe to eclipse.ini

Java and JDK are installed. x86-version and x64-version.
Has anybody an idea, how I can solve this?

    The solution is the following:

    • I removed the -vm C:\Program … entry from eclipse.ini
    • I removed the JAVA_HOME variable
    • I edited the Path as follows:
      I moved the path to javaw.exe to the beginning of the Path-variable, because it’s using the first javaw.exe it finds and there’s one in system32-folder whyever.
