Android SDK Setup.exe will not run

Question

Running XP sp3 when i click SDK Setup.exe command line promt comes up and goes away fast and nothing else happens is there a fix for this ?

Answer 1

Ok here is my own fix and recommending it to others save SDK kit unzip to C:\ then 1.) download the latest java currently java 6.0.18 from --> java web site save and run (I used c:\ for file locations to save and run from) 2.) download the latest "Eclipse IDE for Java Developers" from --> eclipse org downloads site 3.) go to my computer c:\ --> C:\Program Files\Java copy the jre6 folder or jre...what ever version you may have paste the folder into the folder name C:\eclipse rename the folder from jre6 to just "jre" this will allow eclipse to run, in eclipse click on the help tab click install new software add location http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/ ok do restart go back into eclipse go to window tab preferences, expand android, browse c:\android-sdk-windows ok, window tab Android SDK and AVD manager, Available packages, select all, update, in same area go to virtual devices, new, name: Hi target: android 2.1, create AVD, Select and start, now you will have android 2.1 emulator working

Answer 2

try making empty folders named 'platforms' and 'add-ons' without quotations in your android-sdk-windows folder and then running sdk setup.exe worked for me just now

Answer 3

I just download the .zip file, opened the file and double-clicked the SDK Setup.exe and it loaded fine. A setup window popped up in the background, that does not happen to you at all?

EDIT:

Take a look into Installing the Android SDK and look over the System Requirements and make sure you have both JDK 5 or JDK 6 (which you do) and JRE 6

Answer 4

Run it from the System command prompt not the User command prompt, not sure if thats really what its called, but there are 2 separate command prompts. You want the one that has higher privelages.

UPDATE

Is your computer able to connect to https? That was an issue that was holding me back from installing android at first, however it is appropriate for the command prompt to disappear immediately.
