Android installation issues

Question

I have been trying to set up my android to begin my development lessons all day without success. I have installed the Java JDK kit and I'm trying to install the android sdk but this is the error I keep getting all day:

"failed to find java version for 'C:\windows\system32\java.exe':[2] The system cannot find the specified file.

The Java version I installed is jdk1.7.0_03. I have gone to the environment variables and added the path to the java file (C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_03\bin and C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_03\bin\javac) and I still get the same error. The android sdk version I am trying to install is "installer_r18-windows.exe". Can someone help me?

Answer 1

The problem is there are two Java files and the installer picks the first one that it finds; The solution, however, is simple:

rename c:\windows\system\java.exe to c:\windows\system\java.exe.orj, then restart the installer, and everything should be fine.

It will now use the version of java.exe installed in Program Files\Java instead which solves the issue.

Answer 2

I fixed this issue follow these steps:

1. right click my computer->properties->advanced system settings->advanced tab->click environmental variable

2. under system variales press new to create and new system variable

3. give it name JAVA_HOME and give url to folder where java is installed

   e.g C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_05 and then re-run sdk
