As a side-project I am trying to create myself a portable eclipse installation. The drive I use is the Samsung T5 500GB SSD. Before starting with this I searched through the web and found this helpful link. I completed the instructions given "Mokubai" in their post. I used the jre1.8.0_211, which I copied from the directory on my computer. I run the .exe and specified the workspace to ".\Workspace".
- Runs smoothly on my own computer.
- Doesn't run on my testing computer. Following is the error message I get: Eclipse; Java was started but returned exit code=13
I have googled the error to find out more about what and why it's caused. With the help of this link and a thorough re-read of the error, I think the destination of "javaw.exe" is wrongly specified.
With the help of this link I tried to manually specify the destination to said .exe. Here is the link to my "eclipse.ini"-file.
I tested it with the modified .ini, yet I still get the same error as linked earlier this post.
Does somebody have a solution/fix for this error?
EDIT:
I checked whether my computers I try to start eclipse with are 32 bit or 64 bit. Without any doubt I can say that they are 64 bit (OS: Win10 Home & Win10 Enterprise). The eclipse installation on my external SSD is 64 bit too. If I had a 32bit Eclipse it shouldn't even run if I understood @greg-449's comment correctly. Funnily enough I can run Eclipse on my company's notebook (64bit Win10 Enterprise) without any problem. When I try to run it on any other computer I will get the linked error.
TL;DR: My portable ecplipse returns Error:13 when executed and has (presumbaly) the wrong path specified for the "javaw.exe". I tried setting the path via an argument in the "eclipse.ini"-file.
