I\'m having a problem getting my android dev environment setup in Windows 7. I follow the instructions here, as well as several environment sublinks. I am using Eclipse wi

I had this same problem, after accidentally installed the 32-bit version of Java SDK. I uninstalled it and installed the 64-bit version (since I'm using Windows 7 64). The Android SDK setup never found Java correctly, even after I added it to my PATH variable!

After a bit of digging around, I discovered a java.exe floating around in my system32 folder, which in the order of the PATH variable came before my SDK path. After whacking the java.exe in my system32 folder, the Android Setup ran just fine!

Hope this helps.
