Android SDK wont open on windows 8 64 bit

[Shakeel]

I have downloaded the correct version for 64 bit win 8. The path for java is set. When i double click the sdk exe a cmd prompt opens for a second and then closes.

Ive tried running in compatibility mode (xp and win 7) but not luck and ive also tried running as admin. Tried looking on then net but most people are taking about the java_home path and it has been set

any ideas?

ok here is what ive done. i only do this for bit of android flashing so nothing too advanced. ive installed the java jdk and then downloaded the android sdk. to download the packages you need to open the sdk manager however that willl not open. ive set my java_home as follows C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_10 i took this advise from a java site online


how do i run an exe from the cmd?
