Every time I open eclipse Galilio on Windows 7 64bit this message appear and it won't work

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Faild to load the JNI shared library "C:\Program Files(x86)\java\jre6\client\jvm.dll"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Help me please.

Answer 1

If you are using the 64-bit distribution of Galileo, you need a 64bit distribution of JRE (not a 32bit installed in "C:\Program Files(x86)").

If not (you are using a 32bit) version, you can (as in this thread),

• Check your path variable,
• make sure that if you type "java -version" at a command prompt you get the version you expect.
• Or better yet, edit your eclipse.ini file to specify a particular JVM location.
  See http://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse.ini for examples.
