trouble running eclipse from usb

Question

I am trying to run Eclipse Kepler from a usb drive. It will work when coding but when I come to run the program it shows

error = 216. This version of %1 is not compatible with version of windows you are running.

Eclipse runs fine at home (windows 8 64bit Java 7) but the issue happens at college (Windows server 32bit java 6) Can anyone shed any light on possible issues please.

The JDK and JRE are installed on the USB device and running Java 7. 32 bit Eclipse is installed to USB also. Is it even possible to run java and eclipse as standalone from a usb?

Answer 1

The error code 216 generally means that there is a problem in the 32/64 bit version mismatch between your applications or OS.As you say your eclipse and OS is 32 bit could you please also check if the JDK you are using is 32 bit ?
