    <p>set up my machine at work (WXP 32bit) and MercurialEclipse in Eclipse Helios from market place worked without problems.</p> <p>At home I did the same procedure but on W7Pro 64bit. MercurialEclipse itself got installed, but it errored out upon Workspace restart that the <code>hg</code> command was not found; and it's true, there was none installed.</p> <p>Comparing the plugin configurations within both Eclipse installations I discovered that W7Pro 64bit misses the <em>Windows Binaries for Mercurial</em> plugin. Is that architecture dependent? Is there a way to fix this?</p> <p><strong>Update:</strong></p> <p>I verified with multiple installations: MercurialEclipse requires an external binary to properly work. I was confused because through testing on my first installation I also installed the <em>Windows Binaries for Mercurial</em> "somehow". On my second machine I didn't and I also hadn't installed MercurialHg.</p> <p>By default MercurialEclipse simple requires <code>hg</code> in its configuration which implicitly assumes the binary must be available in the path somewhere. The <em>Windows Binaries for Mercurial</em> works a bit different, it installs a private copy of <code>hg.exe</code> inside the <code>eclipse/</code> folder somewhere and sets the absolute path in the MercurialEclipse configuration. Both ways work equally (ignoring differences which could be arise due version differences), since either installation would use your <code>mercurial.ini</code> from your home directory.</p>
