[SOLVED] Eclipse for win 10 64 bit.

[malveymonster]

I have windows 10 64 bit, and I have properly installed the 64 bit version of Java. My problem is that whenever I install the 64 bit version of eclipse, I get the 32 bit version. Does anyone have a link to a 64 bit eclipse download, or a different solution to my problem? Thank you

Assuming, of course, that this is the Eclipse you're talking about.

When I download this and run the installer, I get an error: Could not open C:\Program Files(x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_201\lib\i386\jvm.cfg
The file that I get when I download the link you sent me is named "eclipse-jee-2018-12-R-win32-x86_64.zip" What should I do?

FIrst off what is "this" that you refer to? Be specific.

Second, what file did you get when you chose the "Windows 64 bit" link in the blue box at the top of the download page? Hint: it isn't the one you referenced above.

Third, you may well have to have both the 32-bit and 64-bit JVMs installed. Your clue is the inclusion of "Program Files(x86)" in the path (That's the 32-bit path)

"This" was referring to the link you sent me. I downloaded the windows 64 bit version at the top of the screen, but when I run the program, it is a 32 bit. Is there any way for me to attach a picture or video to the thread? This might make it easier to show what I am doing. Thank you

You cannot attach a picture or video directly, but you can upload one to a media sharing site (imgur.com for images for instance) and link to it here using the Insert Image option.

And have you installed the 32-bit JRE in ADDITION TO 64-bit? That error is referring specifically to the 32-bit JRE. Both are required.

Why do I need the 32 bit and the 64 bit version of java for the 64 bit version of eclipse?

Why do I need the 32 bit and the 64 bit version of java for the 64 bit version of eclipse?

Because there are parts of the environment that still rely on 32-bit being present. If the installation requires it then you have no option but to install it.

Ok, thank you for the help!
