Error:Could not run build action using Gradle installation 'C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio1\gradle\gradle-2.2.1'

Question

Ive just installed android studio 1.0 RC2 in a windows 8.1 64bits, but when i try to create a new project it says Error:Could not run build action using Gradle installation

Answer 1

We have two famous way for this problem:

1- update the gradle:

step 1:

Get latest version supported by Android Studio from:

https://services.gradle.org/distributions

step 2:

Extract the gradle file and install to dists folder(gradle folder): default location is: C:\Users[username]\gradle\wrapper\dists

step 3:

Open Android Studio: File/Settings/Gradle/Service directory path: (Change to folder you set above) and Click ok.

Status on bottom should indicate it's busy & error should be fixed.

step 4:

restart Android Studio

2- Delete the .gradle folder:

default location is:

C:\Users[username]\gradle\wrapper\dists

after that open Android Studio and make a new project (might need to reastart).
