First of all, there are 2 things you should know, first you have installed the Java Development Kit (JDK) and if you have then still this error comes? Ok, so let's see how to fix the above two things.

Fix Java Virtual Machine or JVM not found error

Method 1:

1) First, if you didn't install the JDK that is required for the eclipse to work, then go here and download it here.

2) The file is 170mb, after finishing downloading it, install the file.

3) Now, in some cases the installation of the JDK still does not solve the problem, therefore what you have to do is determine the PATH of the JDK installation.

4) To determine the path go to My Computer, right click and select properties, another dialog box will appear and select advanced system settings.

5) A new window will appear in which you have to look for the Environment Variables and click on it to open it.

6) Now click new and variable name field write path and variable value field paste the JDK installation path as shown Note: Paste your java installation directory path and version.

7) Click Ok and save everything and now try to open Eclipse and I am pretty sure you will be making the next great android app by now and little credit to me as well so it is a win-win for everyone.

Method 2:

1. Make sure that both the Java version and the Eclipse version belong to the same architecture. So install 64-bit java for 64-bit eclipse and 32-bit java for 32-bit eclipse.

2.Abrir eclipse.ini desde el root directory de instalación de eclipse y pegar este código al final del mismo:

-vm C: N- Program FilesN- JavaN-jdk1.7.0_21N-Blog Server // Find it if you have another version of the JDK.

That's it, you have successfully fixed the Java Virtual Machine or JVM not found error, but if you still have any questions regarding this post, feel free to ask them in the comments section.
