    <p>The eclipse executable launcher was unable to locate its companion shared library.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Previously Eclipse was working fine when I had <code>jre6</code> installed on my pc. After installing <code>jre7 update 25</code>, I am no longer able to launch Eclipse.</p>
  
  <p>My Eclipse <code>ini</code>-file has these lines:</p>
  
  <pre><code>-startup
  plugins\org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.0.100.v20080509-1800.jar
  --launcher.library
  plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86_1.1.1.R36x_v20100810 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How do I fix this error? Any help would be great.</p>
