I have just downloaded Eclipse neon 64bit. I've already got jdk8, jre8 installed and configured, I do not have any other versions of Eclipse installed.

When I install eclipse it simply fails. Any idea? all I'm doing is installing the software!

hmm. I ran the installer again, it took 5 seconds then said installed, the eclipse folder is tiny so it must be putting all the plugins elsewhere so I bet I've got a half dodgy copy installed now with plugins half completed and I'll never know what is working or not working until it's too late... - Neil Walker
I'd recommend not to use the installer and download your desired package from Eclipse Downloads directly. - Frelling
I have exactly the same problem with Oxygen. I really wish they cut the crap with the installer. All these processes and repositories it tried to connect to is over-complicating things. The installer should just unpack and copy the files. Shouldn't be that hard to do surely. - Andrew S

I just had the same error, but I found out it was my firewall preventing the different mirrors from running. I temporarily shut it down and Eclipse installed just fine.

You can directly download the zipped content of eclipse and run it directly. No need of installation.

64 Bit Eclispse Neon download link: http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/technology/epp/downloads/release/neon/2/eclipse-jee-neon-2-win32-x86_64.zip

Extract these files and run eclipse.exe

Other packages details are here : http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/eclipse-packages/
