Answer 1

Give full path to the %SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem; DIR, Instead of the %%% Path

Answer 2

I ran into the same problem. On a whim, I just copied xcopy.exe from the <\windows\system32> folder and pasted it into the <\adt-bundle-windows-x86-20131030\sdk\tools> folder where android.bat resides, then re-ran the android.bat file. Lo and behold it worked!

It's not an elegant solution, but novices like me settle for brute force when necessary ;-)
