title: Installing WindowBuilder on 64-bit Eclipse
body: <p>I downloaded the Windows 64-bit version of Eclipse.</p>
  
  <p>I went to "Help | Install New Software..." and entered the following URL to get WindowBuilder.</p>
  
  <p>Kepler 4.3 (4.4 does not have a link yet)
  <a href="http://download.eclipse.org/windowbuilder/WB/release/R201309271200/4.3/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://download.eclipse.org/windowbuilder/WB/release/R201309271200/4.3/</a></p>
  
  <p>I then saw the following display:</p>

  <p>The text of the error is:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Cannot complete the request.  See the error log for details.

  <p>I am not allowed to continue.</p>
  
  <p>Pressing cancel and then new project | Other yields no WindowBuilder.</p>
  
  <p>At one point, on a previous installation attempt (I subsequently deleted the contents of the folder and recopied from the zip file.), I got the URL to work, but there was no SWT, just Swing and WindowBuilder. On that attempt, The "Install New Software..." and 2 other links disappeared from the Help menu, so I deleted everything, as I said. I then tried again, but keep seeing this error.</p>
  
  <p>What newer version?</p>
  
  <p>Thought:
  1. This morning I had jre 1.7 and jre 1.6 installed on my system, but did not see a point to jre 1.6, so I uninstalled the older version. I did restart the machine afterwards. I notice in the WindowBuilder versions column, see the image, that it says 1.6.1.43. I presume that has nothing to do with jre 1.7? The Window Preferences dialog shows jre 1.7, so I do not think so.</p>

  <p>How do I get WindowBuilder/SWT/Swing to install on the 64-bit Eclipse?</p>
  
  <p>UPDATE (will comment on comment shortly):
  I saw <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10867920/installing-windowbuilder-on-eclipse-4-2?rq=1">this article</a> on StackOverflow, which said to type in Kepler in the install new software.</p>
  
  <p>I did that and got punished for it, but at least I can forward the images. Basically, the "Install New Software..." menu option and two others disappear, and there is no WindowBuilder on the new project other.</p>

  <p>Basically, I think that Eclipse is not quite ready for prime time and has bugs.</p>
  
  <p>I will try to find and download the integrated version. I remember doing that once before, but did not see the integrated version at the eclipse <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">download page</a>, so I downloaded what I saw.</p>
  
  <p>(Okay, I see that link. I just did not realize that was that.)</p>
  
  <p>I am still new to Java programming, as I come from a Microsoft background.</p>
