Build Identifier: Eclipse Helios(build ID ?)

When I click on the Eclipse logo I get the following message:

A Java Run time Environment(JRE) or Java Development Kit(JDK) must be 
available in order to run Eclipse. No virtual machine was found after
searching the following location:
C:\Program files \EclipseHelios\eclipse\jre\bin\javaw.exe in your current
path. I put the file jre-6u20-windows-x64 in the bin directory and I get the above message.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install Eclipse Helios
2. attempt to start the program by clicking on the eclipse Icon.

You need to install a JRE. Not put the setup file in there.

Also, which Eclipse download did you get? What is its name?
