Hello everyone,
I am having trouble installing the eclipse software. After downloading the
setup file, when I open the zip file and double click on eclipse.exe, I
get the error box that says
"The Eclipse executable launcher was unable to locate its companion
startup.jar file(in the same directory as the executable)".
However, when I browse down the zipfiles I do see a startup.jar file.
Can anyone help me on this? It is greatly appreciated. I am running
windows xp.

That happened to me (I think--maybe it was another program). Make sure
you're not just trying to run eclipse.exe from the WinRAR (if that's
what you're using) file browser. You must actually extract the folder
first, or the line of code that calls startup.jar will not be able to
read inside the .rar, even though WinRAR has it open at that time.
Hope that works,
Leif
