Eclipse won't load: failed to find a main class

I am trying to download Eclipse onto my flash drive so that it can support itself if I try to use Eclipse on a computer that does not have a JDK/JRE installed and/or I do not have the permissions to install one.

I am able to download it onto the flash drive and run it fine, but the problem arises when I try to make it self-sufficient by downloading a JDK for Eclipse to use on the drive. I have tried many different solutions (yes, I am aware of the abundance of "why is eclipse telling me it cant find main class" questions), but none of them apply to me. I followed this tutorial in my endeavors, but when I run the batch file it comes up with the standard Failed to find a Main Class in "F:\eclipse\\plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.5.200.v20180922-1751.jar.

I know the \\ looks a bit out of place, but I know that's not the problem since I've tried editing the eclipse.ini file to fix the path but it gives the same error (just with F:\eclipse\plugins\org.[...].jar instead)

I'd really appreciate any help anyone could give. Thanks!

Eclipse has required Java 8 or newer since the Neon release, in 2016. Update your version of Java.
