I have Windows 11 installed on my machine. I’m not sure if that is the issue but I have had success with the windows installer on my Windows 10 machine. This is the one I downloaded:

myeclipse-2023.1.0-offline-installer-windows.exe

When running this exe I get a loading bar which results in the following message:

An error has occurred. See the log file [location redacted]

It seems like the installer is somehow using Java 1.7 to start but it requires at least 1.8. I have Java 17 installed and my PATH variable is set to Java 1.8 so that when I do java -version I get 1.8.

What does the installer use to configure the version of Java to use? How can I get the installer to find Java 8 or 17?

Here is the top portion of the log file:

I solved my own problem. It wasn’t Windows 11 related.

I used the advice from this other post: https://www.genuitec.com/forums/topic/myeclipse-and-jdk-9/#post-538337

Which was to run the installer from the command line (in my case PowerShell) and use the -vm argument with the location of the bin directory of jdk 1.8 that I have installed as the argument parameter.

The Installer worked after that and bypassed the Java 1.7 issue which can be recognized by the error log stating the following:

java.version=1.7.0_352

and

Unresolved requirement: Require-Capability: osgi.ee; filter:=”(&(osgi.ee=JavaSE)(version=1.8))”

Glad you were able to proceed with the installation. As you noticed, the installer does need Java 8, and we embed a JRE in the installer in case your system doesn’t have a compatible Java. However, it looks like it doesn’t perform this check correctly, so this is something we will fix in a future release.

Apologies for the inconvenience caused and thank you for the report!
