Eclipse JRE/JDK must be available error

803338Oct 6 2010 — edited Oct 11 2010
HELP!!!. i am trying to run eclipse 3.5 and i am getting the following error

A Java Runtime Environment (JRE) or java Development Kit (JDK)
must be available in order to run eclipse. No Java virtual machiene
was found after searching the following locations:
C:\Users\Colin|Desktop\eclipse-jee-galileo-win32\eclipse\jre\bin\javaw.exe
javaw.exe in your current PATH

bare with me because i am new to this. I installed both JDK and JRE from the following webpage <http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html> and have reinstalled them after i have unzipped the eclipse files and i am still getting the error.

if i follow that path C:\Users\Colin|Desktop\eclipse-jee-galileo-win32\eclipse\jre\bin\javaw.exe

the jre\bin\javaw.exe part doesnt exist so is there a way to change where it is looking to the correct location???

my javaw.exe file is located at

C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_21\bin

any help would be appreciated.
