Your version of Eclipse is 64-bit, based on the paths and filenames.
However, the version of Java that it's picking up is 32-bit, as indicated by where it is coming from, on this line:
-vm C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\bin\javaw.exe
Program Files (x86)
is the folder where 64-bit Windows places 32-bit programs.
Program Files
is the folder where 64-bit Windows places 64-bit programs.
This can happen when a system has more than one JVM installed, as is often the case on Windows 64-bit (for example, the JRE download page uses the bit-ness of the browser to determine what bit-ness download to offer you, and many people use(d) 32-bit browsers even though they run 64-bit Windows).
The best way to fix this, assuming you do in fact have 64-bit JRE or JDK on your system, is to specify in eclipse.ini
exactly which JVM you want it to use. The instructions are detailed in the Eclipse wiki page, but basically you have to specify the -vm
option in the ini file - make sure to read the wiki page carefully as the format is very specific.
Specifying the JVM path in eclipse.ini
is strongly recommended because doing so isolates Eclipse from any potential changes to your system PATH
that some program installers might make (I'm talking to you, Oracle!).
Another option would be to download and use 32-bit Eclipse instead of 64-bit, but it's still strongly recommended to specify the path to the JVM in eclipse.ini
.
Left for historical reference:
To check your version of Java, run
java -version
in a console (command prompt). On Windows 7 with 64-bit Java 6 I get:
java version "1.6.0_27"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_27-b07)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.2-b06, mixed mode)
Note the 3rd line, which shows that this is a 64-bit version.
On a 32-bit version you'll get something like:
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 20.1-b02, mixed mode, sharing)
If you are on a 64-bit machine, then you can install the 64-bit JDK and uninstall the 32-bit one. For instance on Windows 10, just go to Settings and under Apps, you will find Java. Click on it and you will find all the different versions. Now you can select which one to uninstall.

The files in the VirtualBox folder are likely just the actual machine configurations, not the downloaded image files.
On my system (Windows 8 x64) the downloaded images are located here:
\Users\{username}\AppData\Local\Genymobile\
Inside this folder is another folder called
LaunchPad
. If you copy this folder to the same location on your other machine it should work.I would advise you install and run Genymobile on the other machine, then exit it and copy the folder mentioned above. Re-launching it should then pickup the image files.
You will have to re-create the actual devices, but you won't have to download the images again.
UPDATE (for Genymotion v1.1.0):
The folder for has changed in v1.1.0 - it is now called
Genymotion
instead ofLaunchPad
, but it is still in the path indicated above. In order to retain already downloaded images (from v1.0), rename theLaunchPad
folder toGenymotion
(or copy it's contents if it already exists).Update for Genymotion v2.0+:
The folder is now called
Genymotion
(instead ofLaunchpad
) but it's contents remain the same, just copy it to your other installations.Additionally, images with Google Apps are no longer available - so you only need to download 2 images per version (phone/tablet). To get Google Apps in Genymotion there is a solution posted on XDA.
Update for Genymotion v2.8+: The downloaded images are located at:
