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

I solved this problem, which occured for me after manually installing the ADT (4.2/api 17) bundle on Windows 7 64 bit in C:\Program Files.

The steps I had to take:

1. Set the JAVA_HOME environment variable to the installation directory of the (64 bit) JDK, C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_11 in my case.
2. Run SDK Manager as administrator at least once. SDK Manager allows you to change files in Program Files, so you should give it the proper access rights.
