I'm trying to install the latest version of Eclipse on Windows 7. When I try to run it, I get this message. What is exit code=13?

enter image description here

JVM: Version 8 Update 40

In command prompt, java version gives 1.8.0_40

I've read about error code 13, but this did not help.

Also, I tried some of the things in command line mentioned in the answer below, but eclipsec.exe is blocked by the same message and doesn't allow me to type anything in.

Most likely you're giving it a java argument it doesn't like or you have a java version issue.

Try to start from the command line using eclipsec.exe and add the -debug -consoleLog parameters so that it gives you more info.

I see also that you're using the 64 bit version of eclipse, therefore you will also have problems if it's trying to use a 32bit JVM or you're using a 32bit OS.

To determine if the JVM is 32 or 64 bit open a command prompt and type: java -version

I found the issue. I had downloaded java from this link, which defaults to 32-bit. I run 64-bit Eclipse on 64-bit Win 7 OS. I went to this download list of JRE options, and installed 64 bit. It works
