I swapped a newly-bought ssd into my hdd1 slot, and put the hdd it replaced into my hdd2 slot today. Installed win 8 x64 and did all updates, personal config, etc. Everything seems to be fine and stable.
Problem is, I keep getting the message: "A Java Environment [blah blah] must be available in order to run Eclipse. No Java virtual Machine was found after searching the following locations: C:\EclipsePortable\App\Eclipse\jre\bin\javaw.exe javaw.exe in your current PATH"
when trying to run Eclipse Portable.
Now the same installation package works fine in win 7, which I re-checked by booting into my hdd. In win7, Task Manager does not show any java related processes when running portable Eclipse, to which I assume is part of the portability. Thus interestingly enough, there was never a jre folder in the installation, and certainly no javaw.exe, so I'm not too sure what's going on here, let alone what's wrong.
Anyways, using my win7 system, I can actually launch the portable eclipse I installed on my win8 ssd just fine. Same goes for if I install onto a flashdrive: works in win7 on hdd, gives the above error in win8 on ssd.
Regular eclipse, using java jdk installed in program files does work on win8, I just prefer the portable version.
Thanks for any help given, I'm entirely outta my league on this one.
