SDK Manager.exe doesn't work

Question

When I clicked SDK Manager on Program Files or run it in cmd, nothing happened. I did:

1. Installed latest JDK
2. Installed latest Android SDK<

Answer 1

Similar to sixty9 I renamed java.exe, javaw.exe, javaws.exe (I never delete files when troubleshooting) after I created a JAVA_HOME environment variable and added path variables.

I had installed the Java SDK on my D:\ drive ( instead of the default).

1. Create a JAVA_HOME variable: Variable Name: %JAVA_HOME% Value: D:\Program Files\Java.

2. Added the following to the Path variable:

   %JAVA_HOME%\jre7\bin;%JAVA_HOME%\jdk1.7.0_03\bin;
   

3. Renamed java.exe, javaw.exe and javaws.exe.

4. Restarted the system and the Android SDK installer found my JDK and installed successfully.
