Okay, it's a very old bug... but... are you sure that you have a Java VM installed and its location is reachable from your PATH?
Or try to open a console and type in 'java'. If that doesn't show any results, it is very likely that you need to make java available first.

I will close the bug the next time I am going through the list of open bugs, unless you state that the error still exists and you can send us more details (e.g. a log file, ...) about the error. Thanks.

Undo. Melissa is learning the ropes and closed this by accident.

Welcome!

Reading through my comment #1 this bug could really be closed as wontfix or cannot reproduce.
Comment 5 Jonah Graham CLA 2021-05-07 10:12:06 EDT
The Installer component of EPP is no longer under any active development. The Eclipse installer available today is provided by the Oopmh project, see
https://eclipse.org/oomph. Therefore any remaining bugs are now being closed as WONTFIX. If this bug is still relevant, please make a comment and we'll move it to the correct project/component for further investigation.
