运行Eclipse Indigo的问题

Question

I'm trying to run Eclipse Indigo, but every time i click the application (eclipsec), it pulls up this error:

A Java Runtime Enviroment (JRE) or Java Development Kit (JDK) must be available in order to run Eclipse. No Java virtual machine was found after searching the following locations: C:\\Users\\Eric\\Desktop\\Eclipse Indigo SR1\\eclipse\\jre\\bin\\java.exe java.exe in your current PATH

I installed both a JRE and a JDK, but it still won't run. I'm trying to make sure i'm not making a mistake. When I installed the JRE and JDK, I let them install normally, without changing the install location. After that failed, I installed the JRE to my eclipse folder (C:\\Users\\Eric\\Desktop\\Eclipse Indigo SR1\\eclipse). All that did was add the files to the folder along with this application file: jdk-7u1-windows-i586. I've pretty much given up on this. Anyone know what i'm doing wrong? I'm running 64-bit Windows 7 Pro.

EDIT: Forgot to add that my eclipse folder is lacking \\jre, but has a \\bin.

Try this article FAQ: How do I run Eclipse . Pay attention on the paragraph "Find the JVM" - it describes -vm option, which you can use to explicitly define JVM location.
