Why am I getting an error message when trying to install the Java SDK on Windows 7?

Question

I installed the Eclipse IDE, but it said I needed to install an SDK in order for it to run. I downloaded it from Oracle, but had trouble getting it up and running. I have Windows 7, and it says "exit code = 13".

I think you can do these steps:

1. Download JDK. e.g JDK 7. http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/webnotes/install/windows/jdk-installation-windows.html
2. Install it in your Windows
3. Check current version that is success or not by go to cmd and type: java -version
4. Start your Eclipse. 

If you still have error, Google it for the detail. Hope this help.
