I have eclipse , jre and jdk in the same desktop folder but while trying to install eclipse it gives the error message that no JVM or JRE were found in the path C:\User\desktop\eclipse\jre\bin\jawaw.exe
javaw.exe in your current path.
Please help

The error you reported usually means Eclipse cannot locate a runnable JVM. was right that a proper Java install is required and pointed to Eclipse docs, but the immediate fixes are more specific: confirm which Java (JRE/JDK) is actually installed, make sure Eclipse and the JVM are the same bitness (32 vs 64 bit), and ensure Eclipse is explicitly pointed at a valid javaw.exe (typos in the path will prevent discovery).

Quick, safe steps to try now: open a Windows command prompt and run java -version to confirm Java is available and note whether it is 32- or 64-bit. If Java is present but Eclipse still fails, edit eclipse.ini and add a -vm entry (place it before -vmargs). Example (replace with your real install path):

-vm
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_241\bin\javaw.exe

Make sure -vm and the path are on separate lines, and that the path matches Eclipse (32-bit Eclipse needs a 32-bit JVM). If a bundled jre folder sits next to eclipse.exe, verify the folder layout and the executable name (javaw.exe) for spelling mistakes. After changes, start Eclipse normally (use -clean if it still refuses to start). For the eclipse.ini syntax and more details see the Eclipse documentation on the eclipse.ini launcher options: Eclipse.ini (Eclipse Wiki).

Hi...

Have you installed Java in your computer?!! Eclipse is portable and we don't need to do anything to run eclipse. And then, we don't need to add manually eclipse, jre and jdk into same desktop folder. All are ready if you have installed Java(Jdk 1.6 or later). That is why it is definitely sure that you haven't installed java in your computer.

ps: You can check in "C:\Program Files" to see you have installed Java or not . If there is Java folder, you have installed Java. Otherwise, you haven't installed yet.

I hope to be okay......
