[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rachelm920:
I am hoping someone on here can help me. I am seriously at wits end here. Since the upgrade of jdk to version 7 I cannot for the life of me get adb or Eclipse to work. I have tried uninstalling reinstalling multiple times. I have searched Google high and low for my errors and none of the solutions solve it. I tried using the 32 bit of jdk, still doesn't work.

I am using Windows 7 64 bit professional. I have unzipped android-sdk_r17-windows to C:\android-sdk-windows. I have installed java multiple locations updating my system variable every time. I have Eclipse in C:\Eclipse.

Here is a list of everything I tried:

1- When I tried to install SDK Tools via the exe file it gave me an error when checking for java

$(^ Name) has stopped working

I googled it couldn't find anything understandable or related to SDK.

With using the zip, it does not give me the platform-tools folder. In the adb has moved.txt file it says to run AVD Manager and SDK Manager. However when I do so all that happens is a quick flash of the command prompt then nothing.

So after researching that a bit I ran from the command prompt the following:

>CD android-sdk-windows
>CD tools
>android

Error message:

find_java.exe has stopped working.

This must be the $(^Name) error I was getting earlier.

Uninstalling 32 bit Java

2 - This time I installed Java into the default directory of C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.7.0_03\ and C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\

SAME THING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Uninstalling 32 bit java...

3 - Installing 64 bit java again... in default location

I did not install javaFX this time idk if it makes a difference

SAME THING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am going to try to restart my pc now..... MAYBE JUST MAYBE that'll work....

Nope...

Now when I type the command lines I get this:

C:\>cd android-sdk-windows

C:\android-sdk-windows>cd tools

C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>android

My path variable is:

C:\instantclient_11_1;C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin;C:\windows\system32;C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Windows Live;C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Windows Live; C:\Program Files (x86)\QuickTime\QTSystem\; %SystemRoot%\system32;C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Live\Shared;C:\Program Files (x86)\Calibre2\;

Instant client is for another program I use. The others were in there probably added by installing them.

Any help or suggestions that I did not do I am open to. I am in no way shape a newbie I have been theming and using ADB for 2 years. This damn update is just killing me. (I am also about to have my BS in IT so that pisses me off even more I should know this stuff!!!!!)
