waterkant Force.com IDE installer crashed in forceide.exe
I am trying to install IDE (force.com-ide-installer-win32.exe). First I had some trouble with the proxy settings in pulse explorer. I manage to overcome this. Then the installer stops with an error in forceide.exe:
JVM terminated. Exit code=-1

Any idea how to fix it?
Thanks in advance.
I am experiencing the *exact* same issue. Here are some additional details:
Java: jdk1.6.0_23
Eclipse: NO previous installation
Force.com IDE installer: force.com-ide-installer-win32
One of the suggested responses is to follow the instructions to install the Force.com IDE atop an existing Eclipse distro. I'll give this a whirl as a last resort, but would rather see the downloaded installer work correctly. In my google-fest to figure this out, it seems that this message is related to Eclipse starting the related config (.ini) file.
A little more digging, and some guesswork, led me to this fix:
In the default Force.com IDE install directory:
C:\Program Files\salesforce.com\Force.com IDE
Locate the config file:
forceide
And comment out the following at the end of the file (note the leading #):
#-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8
#-Xms256m
#-Xmx1024m
#-XX:PermSize=128M
#-XX:MaxPermSize=512M
This resulted in the Force.com IDE starting as expected, I think...
It would be nice if
1. someone would validate this fix as appropriate (seems so as the args commented out are repeated twice in the error message)
2. someone in force.com product engineering could fix the installer to do the right thing ;)
Cheers!

Thanks, it works.
Hi:
Could you advise how you fixed this problem... I am encountering the same issue... This is Win/XP 32 bits.....

Same issue as mass*acceleration (with XP 32)
Applied his patch in the Forceide.ini
It works.
Thx.
Thanks, that made my installation run!
Your fix of editing the ini file worked for me as well. C'mon Force.com, fix the installer!!
Not sure if this works for everyone, but I was able to get this to work by only commenting out the MaxPermSize line: #-XX:MaxPermSize=512M

I can confirm the instructions from 'colonel deej' -- Edit the forceide.ini file and comment out the "XX:MaxPermSize=512M" line to get the IDE working.
Wanted to add that we had a person who was receiving the same errors when launching the force.com IDE. Nothing fixed it, including commenting out the configuration file as listed above. The user had 'java initiator' installed on his machine, once that was removed force.com IDE launched fine.
Great fix... awsome
Yes this worked for me by commenting the .ini file.
+1 for commenting out MaxPermSize in forceide.ini
WinXP/32.
Actually, I take that back.
Although commenting the MaxPermSize got around the immediate error and allowed Eclipse to start, it was in "a right state", with major chunks missing (e.g. no "File->New Project...").
Gave up on the standalone installer.
Use these instructions to install Eclipse standalone first, then the Force.com plug in.
No faffing about so works out quicker in the end.

This workaround used to work in older versions of the standalone installer. This post mentions some new Tooling API introduced in Spring 13:
http://boards.developerforce.com/t5/Apex-Code-Development/Force-com-IDE-install-fails-shows-quot-Eclipse-Provisioning-quot/td-p/469091
Assuming the most recent version of the standalone installer was used, it still seems to be an unresolved issue.
Just commenting out the max perm size worked for me in the .ini file. Nice find!
