Eclipse: Product Export error: The Product executable launcher was unable to locate its companion shared library

Question

I am exporting an Eclipse Plugin Project using Product Export Wizard, I have Eclipse Indigo 64 bit bits.

Everything works fine when I tried exporting it as a 64 bit project. But problems oocured when I tried exporting it into a 32bit project.

I have set the target platform, installed JRE 32bit, added all the required plugins, the program compiles and runs fine on a 32 bit JRE.

The product also seem to export successfully, however, when I tried running the .Exe, it throws an error "The Product executable launcher was unable to locate its companion shared library."

I have checked that the org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.2.0.v20110502.jar and org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86_1.1.100.v20110502 both exists in the plugins folder. I have compared the plugins for the .product file with the runtime configuration plugins, everything seems fine, but I just could not start the .exe.

Please help..

According to this, unpacking the org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86_XXXXXXXX jar with the same name in the same directory (i.e. plugins/) fix the issue for me
