Hey! I had this same error when installing, it was due to not properly unzipping the package:
 
After downloading eclipse after opening, select Help - Install New Software - Available Software Sites

Site name: Force.com IDE  
location: http://media.developerforce.com/force-ide/eclipse42
Select Force.com IDE and Next either at the bottom of the window currently or just before finishing the install and error message displays stating:

force.com ide 28.0.1.201309101331 (com.salesforce.ide.feature.feature.group 28.0.1.201309101331) requires 'org.eclipse.update.ui 0.0.0' but it could not be found
This happens via the Eclipse site and with the built in marketplace.

The solution in to unzip the Eclipse file with 7-zip and you'll be good to go! 
This error occurs when the Eclipse package was not unzipped properly. There are issues with the Windows built in decompression settings that can cause the folders/files within the package from properly decompressing. To fix delete the Eclipse package that had been decompressed and use a program such as 7-zip to decompress the existing zip file.
Open Eclipse select Help - Install New Software - Available Software Sites and enter

Name:  Force.com IDE
location: http://media.developerforce.com/force-ide/eclipse42
This location works for both 4.2 and 4.3 and will allow for the installation for the app
 
Hope that helps!
