Eclipse not starting up windows

I've tried re-installing them. And re-downloading Eclipse. Same result every time. I've added the VM to the config, still nothing. Delete everything from this folder. Then it will work. This also happened to me. I tried some of the solutions above but couldn't get it done.

It would be nice if Eclipse gave a bit more information to go on, but such is life. I just had this issue in Eclipse Neon.
