Description Roland Schulz CLA 2010-06-03 02:50:28 EDT 
I get the error message 

 The Eclipse executable launcher was unable to locate its companion shared
library

with 64bit version of RC3. Link:
http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/S-3.6RC3-201005271700/download.php?dropFile=eclipse-SDK-3.6RC3-win32-x86_64.zip

MD5: cfbbfd52e1e3318554fc2e0ed48efd52

32bit of RC3 and 64bit of RC2 are both OK.

Java versions installed:
jre 1.6.0_14 (64bit)
jre 1.6.0_20 (32bit)
jdk 1.5.0_22 (64bit)

Sounds like an SWT bug. Moving to SWT for comments.
Comment 2 Kim Moir CLA 2010-06-03 10:41:47 EDT 
Prakash, the bug is still in equinox...moving
Comment 3 Thomas Watson CLA 2010-06-03 10:43:27 EDT 
And back to Equinox ;-)

Please post the contents of the eclipse.ini file for your RC3 installation.  I should have this for the --launcher.library.

--launcher.library
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86_64_1.1.0.v20100503

Confirm that the org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86_64_1.1.0.v20100503 directory exists on your installation.  I have seen this happen if you extract the zip without creating directories.  In that case everything gets extracted to a flat folder.
Comment 4 Andrew Niefer CLA 2010-06-03 10:54:49 EDT 
Also, in particular, you want
org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86_64_1.1.0.v20100503\eclipse_1307.dll

SWT has a 64bit windows 7 machine, we tried RC3 there and it worked fine.  I suspect problem with unzipping the archive.

I'm sorry. You are right. Checked the md5 but didn't check that somehow it didn't unzip correctly.
