Cannot run emulator in Android Studio

Question

I just got done installing Android studio and trying to take it for a test run. When I try to run my app I get the following error message

emulator: ERROR:          


        

Answer 1

In my case (Windows 10) the reason was that I dared to unzip the android sdk into non default folder. When I moved it to the default one c:/Users/[username]/AppData/Local/Android/Sdk and changed the paths in Android Studio and System Variables, it started to work.
