Installing ADT into Eclipse-Juno. How to complete the installation after errors?

Question

I downloaded and installed SDK Tools for Windows (I'm using Windows 7 Professional - 64 bit and have Admin rights).

Setting Up an Existing IDE page explicitly instructs:

If you'll be using Eclipse, do not start the Android SDK Manager, and instead move on to Installing the Eclipse Plugin.

I then followed Installing the Eclipse Plugin instructions. I was able to download the plug-in (steps 1 - 7). During installation I got the following errors:

Error: Missing platform-tools
[2014-01-20 20:26:59 - Android SDK] Error when loading the SDK:

Error: Missing platform-tools
[2014-01-20 20:27:18 - SDK Manager] [SDK Manager] Error: Missing platform-tools

These tools were actually preselected and would've been installed by SDK Manager, but as (shown above) we were told not to do so.

What do I do now to complete the installation. Do I install Platforms tools via SDK Manager? If so, do I unselect everything else?

I do not believe this case is covered in Troubleshooting ADT Installation section of the Android web-page.

Please point me into the right direction.

Answer 1

platform-tools used to be included in the SDK by default but for some reason Google removed it, and now you have to launch the SDK Manager first, and install the Android SDK Platform Tools.

You can go ahead and install other packages as well at this stage if you want, but all you have to install is the platform-tools. After that you can start eclipse again, go to Window--> Preferences --> Android and point it to the right location
