Description Prashant Deva CLA 2010-12-16 22:00:35 EST 
I have a p2.inf with the following contents in my feature project.

instructions.install = \
    addJvmArg(jvmArg:-Xmx900m);
instructions.install.import= \
    org.eclipse.equinox.p2.touchpoint.eclipse.addJvmArg


On a 64 bit Windows 7 installation-

The script works fine on Eclipse 3.6.1 64 bit and the eclipse.ini is modified to -Xmx900m after installation.

However the 32 bit version of eclipse on the 64 bit windows does not get its eclipse.ini updated.

I have ensured that eclipse is not in any 'admin' dirs like program files. Its in a regular folder, eg - c:\testeclipse\eclipse

I don't see why that could be since this is all pure java code. Could you please create a sample feature and attach it.
