Today I thought I'd upgrade my IBM Java installations to the latest versions. I had Java 5, 6 and 7 installed, both 32-bit and 64-bit on my 64-bit Windows 7 system.

Something Bad happened with the Java 5 uninstallation and any uninstallation attempt errors with "1628: Failed to complete installation."
With this condition, and both 32-bit and 64-bit Java 6 and Java 7 installed (and 64-bit Java 7 the default), my Eclipse Juno fails to load with:

I have seen this and in my case it was the case of 32 bit Java and 64 bit Eclipse. I had to use either 32 bit Java and 32 bit Eclipse or 64 bit Java and 64 bit Eclipse

Hi Chris
Are you on Eclipse Juno 4.2? What version of RTC is being used? This doesn't look a supported/tested version of Eclipse IDE from IBM, assuming you are on 4.0.1:

What's the error when you try to load Eclipse?

I have two separate Eclipse Juno installations -- one is just Eclipse Juno, the other is the Eclipse Juno Java EE![]()
in which I installed RTC 4.0.1. The both fail to start now. Screen capture of the error is attached.
