Cannot install Adroid SDK... JDK Missing?

Hey all,

Just trying to install jdk, eclipse and android sdk on my work machine and for some reason it's getting itself in a twist.

You can see the Android SDK error, and above that the message I get when trying to run setup for the JDK telling me it's already installed - anyone had this before?

As far as I know there's different versions of the JDK for both x86 and x64; install them both incase Android is looking for the other.

I cant tell from the picture but are you using eclipse?

If you are i had a similar problem, but i downloaded the eclipse IDE "for java EE" and it seemed to fix the issue!

Winner, winner, chicken dinner.

I installed the x64 JDK - Android SDK obviously only works on the x86 version.

Nice. I had a similar problem when doing something which needed the JDK, was very annoying

I had this problems also, took me a little while to figure out.

But also for some reason I couldn't get the ADT to run in eclipse, the download just kept failing due to the lack of some update plugin (glif?). Took a while to figure out what was going wrong but got it sorted in the end.

Perfect post timing. I spent hours trying to sort this issue yesterday, tried it on 3 different machines and was having the same problem on all of them. x86 is obviously the way to go then. Cheers.
