Eclipse installation error (JRE or JDK)

PC running Windows 7 64bit A Java Runtime Environment (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... in your current PATH. When I attempt to launch Eclipse the above error occurs. I have installed: Eclipse-SDK-3.7.2-win32-x86 64 Android-sdk r18 updated Java7u4-i586 Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hi JRow, The Java you have installed...is it JDK for sure? It's easy to get confused, and the JDK (not JRE) is required. If it is JDK, then I would try a reboot, or a reinstall of the JDK. Mark

I installed the jdk 7u4-windows-x64.exe instead of jdk-7u4-windows-i586.exe. Then I launched eclipse again.
