With eclipse-java-indigo-SR1-RC3-win32.zip I was able to get to the license selection screen after selecting 'SWT Designer' and 'SWT Designer Core' as plug-ins to install.

I am using a different zip file (the 64 bit version): eclipse-java-indigo-SR1-RC3-win32-x86_64.zip and I am getting the error above....
Try installing the Eclipse PDE first.
I have successfully used Window builder under 64 bit Linux. I was also able to install SWT builder. I see you are using windows 7 is that 64 or 32 bit? I'm going to get access to a windows machine to continue testing.
I installed this on Windows 7 32 bit and everything works fine. I'm going to try 64 bit Windows 7
It Worked fine on Windows 7 64 bit. I can't reproduce this.
Referenced "missing" component is standard part of Eclipse, not WindowBuilder.
For the sake of everybody who lands here with the same problem: This happens reproducibly when Eclipse is installed into a directory protected by Windows 7 UAC (User Account Control). Eclipse cant find its own software repository and installations are virtually impossible. Solution: Start Eclipse by right clicking eclipse.exe and choosing "Run as Administrator" (or something like that - I use W7 German). Note that simlpy working with an administrator account is not enough. To WB team: A note about this in http://code.google.com/intl/de-DE/javadevtools/download-wbpro.html would be nice.
What about this makes it a WindowBuilder issue and not a general Eclipse issue affecting all plugins? There are numerous possible failure modes for the Eclipse update manager (unrelated to WB), and I don't know that we want to try and research and list them all. Do any other plugins mention this as a specific case in their installation instructions?
Nothing makes it a WB issue and I dont know whether other plugings mention it in their docs. But since the failure happens when you try to install WB it can be easily mistaken for a WB error. I added my comment simply because googeling the error message led me straight here and thus finding the solution here would have helped me a lot. But if you think that my comment is misplaced feel free to delete it.
