Answer 1

i have had the Same issue with running Android-Studio on windows XP. After the Update it kept giving me the same error of Gradle: A problem occurred evaluating root project. so what i had to do is:

1- make sure you know where your android studio directory is in my case it was C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Local Settings\Application Data\Android\android-studio\sdk

2- open the project root directory

3- locate the local.properties file and open it in a text editor notepad did it for me

4- change the sdk.dir="add your SDK directory here without the quotations" and make sure you use double instead of one on each separator sdk.dir=C:\\\Documents and Settings\\\UserName\\\Local Settings\\\Application Data\\\Android\\\android-studio\\\sdk

5- Rebuild your project

That was the only way it worked for me
