I am trying to use a 32bit installation of eclipse on my 64bit windows machine.

I have eclipse extracted to my C: Drive and Java installed in ProgramFiles(x86)

When I go to start eclipse I get the error:Failed to load the JNI shared Library"C:Program Files(x86)\Java\jre6\bin\jvm.dll"

I looked and the file is not there.

I am setting something up wrong?Just did a fresh install of Java before trying to run eclipse.

    Have you installed the 32-bit version on JDK ?

You need to make sure to have both:

  • a 32bits Eclipse installation
  • a 32bits Java installed: so make sure the JDK installed is actually a 32bits one, as this comment details:

I have a 64 bit Windows 7, didn't check if I had the 32 or 64 bit Java installed.
Easy and fast check to do, is whether or not your Java folder is in Program Files or Program Files(x86).
If you've got both of these maps and it's in the x86 one, you'll need the 32 bit download.
