I got the same error message. I installed the linux package and it works great. But the windows one is missing the "platforms" folder. Hence the error message. So for now I am going back to linux. (I tried windows when the hello world application launched the emulator but failed to put any message in the screen. So I thought maybe it was an installation problem.)
The other problem I had was with Eclipse trying to add the plug in. In Windows I could not get the "finish" button to select after I had accepted all the software licenses and even scrolled to the bottom of each license.
