I'm studying a MOOC on Android programming and I've downloaded three zips (the ADT that includes Eclipse, a Java Developers Kit and a game framework that is used in the course).
I'm getting exit code 13 when i try to run eclipse.
I'd post an image of the error message but I don't have enough reputation. :o/
The course tutor suggested that my Eclipse INI is corrupt. It looks okay from what I can see except it doesn't seem to have any line breaks like the examples I've seen elsewhere. Of course I don't really know what I'm looking at so if there was an odd character missing I wouldn't know. The tutors are swamped with people on the course and I don't think they are looking for messages from people two weeks behind so I don't expect much help there.
Other research has suggested that I had multiple installations of Eclipse (or possibly other parts of the course materials). I have gone back and started the download steps now about five times in the last two weeks and I did keep the old downloads in renamed folders but I've now deleted them in case they were creating an issue.
The other possibility (as suggested in another thread) is that the paths in the INI file are broken. Unfortunately I don't know anything about the syntax to be able correct a broken path to another folder. After reading the other thread I tried deleting everything related to the course and unpacked everything anew and left it excatly where it unpacked.
Can anyone shed any light on this because the MOOC tutors and mentors aren't any help, I'm two weeks behind eveyone else and the I've run out of ideas?
I've seen solutions to this that suggest relinking but you may have to tell me the fundementals of links or tell me where to go to read this up.
I'm running Windows 7 Pro, 64bit, SP1.
(I asked this question on the end of anotrher thread earlier but it looks as though it was deleted, sorry to get things wrong but I 'm trying to figure out how this forum works and I didn't want to start another thread unnecessarily.)
I think I can now post images. Here's the error message.
