Android SDK getting started

Question

Just trying to get started. I followed the Google instructions and “Download the SDK ADT Bundle for Windows”. I then followed the next step Install the SDK and Eclipse IDE

• Unpack the ZIP file (named adt-bundle-.zip) and save it to an appropriate location, such as a "Development" directory in your home directory.
• Open the adt-bundle-/eclipse/ directory and launch eclipse.

When I open the files and try to launch eclipse I get an error: A JRE or JDK must be available for eclipse to run. I have reloaded the Java runtime with no success. Could someone give me a hand?
