Before going to the solution, let us know why it is showing that error. If you know the problem with this issue, we can easily fix that error.
Reason 1: The most common reason behind this problem is, we aretrying to install different bit version-that is 64 bit or 32-bit version of the software. It may be either Eclipse or Java.
Reason 2: Configuration mistake in Eclipse.ini file
Reason 3: Special characters ( #, !, @) in Eclipse installation directory
Reason 4: You may be using the latest version of Eclipse, but you might be using the wrong version or unsupported version of Java Virtual Machine (JVM)
Reason 5: Issue with your Environment Path Variable
The above are the main reasons causing that Exit code =13 in eclipse. Now let us know how to fix that error.
The Solution for Reason 1:
Check which version of the operating system you are running. To check that, open windows explorer by pressing a Win+E key on your keyboard.
Now on This PC (My Computer) which you found on the left side, Select that and right click on the mouse. In that pop-up menu chooseProperties option. When you click that properties option you will see system properties window. In that window have a look on “System Type” option.
In that System type, you will see 64-bit Operating System. That’s what we need to know.
Now we know which version of the operating system we are running.
After knowing the operating system version, make sure you downloaded the 64-bit version of Eclipse as well as a 64-bit version of Java software. These tricks work which is handled in my java training in chennai learning sectors.
If you downloaded a 32-bit version (X86) of Java or eclipse any one of them, you will get that Exit code=13 error.
Pleasedouble-check the versions which you have downloaded. Because during installation it won’t show any error regarding the incompatible version. It will install smoothly.
In my case, I have installed the 32-bit version of Java so I’m getting that error.
