Must you have 32-bit version of java, or may be you have both version [32-bit 64-bit] of java on same computer.
Make sure you have 32-bit version then must you specify the version that using in Aptana studio to do this :

1-Go to apatana folder and find the AptanaStudio3.ini file
"C:\Users\[YourUser]\AppData\Roaming\Appcelerator\Aptana Studio"

enter image description here

2- Add the java 32-bit version path to AptanaStudio3.ini using notepad

Thanks! I only had to install the JRE 32 birts in mi PC and ready. Of course I installed at the default directory. My PC has W10. – kelgwiin Mar 03 '16 at 16:57

Sidenote: It doesn't have to be an JDK, the JRE installation works too (as long as it's 32bit). – dube Aug 30 '16 at 06:28

Package arch is 32-bit only for Windows OS. The 32-bit version of the JDK is required regardless of whether it is running on a 32-bit or 64-bit Windows system. You can download here from the official website.

So the "x64 Compatible" advertised on the Aptana download page is only referring to ability to run on the operating system? All 32-bit apps run on 64-bit Windows, so claiming compatibility with 64-bit is very misleading. It sounds like a 64-bit Java compatibility. – maxpolk Dec 23 '14 at 16:18

Aptana may be x64 compatible, but it requires JRE 32 bit. – Alberto Spelta Dec 23 '14 at 17:02
Understood. It appears the SWT is the underlying thing that's 32-bit that limits choice of JVM. – maxpolk Dec 23 '14 at 17:47
Thank you very much – serdarsenay Nov 03 '16 at 13:50

I got the exact same error but I was on Windows 10 64-bit, Aptana 3.6.1, with only 64-bit JDKs.

After I downloaded 32-bit 1.7 JDK, I was able to open and run Aptana just fine.

I didn't need to modify the .ini file as AbuSitta had suggested.

I'll agree it might be misleading to some if you don't take a sharper look and see the "x86, x64" description at the download page.

In Windows OS, Aptana Only runs using Java 32 bit (JRE or JDK)

Am I late to the party ? Just started on ruby yesterday..and this was the recommended IDE in 3 of the 4 tutorials i saw..Spent the whole day trying to configure this.

Aptana Studio needs 32 bit jdk to be installed even on a 64 bit processor.. The "compatibility" suggested is a bit misleading..I just had to install the 32 bit jdk.. Did not modify the .ini file as @Osama Abusitta said. Just restarted the pc post installation for the effect to take place.
