Thanks Raphael. Here is my setting: USERPROFILE=C:\Users\<user>
Setting the ANDROID_SDK_HOME to c:\Users\<user> worked fine. Out of interest, isn't that name a bit confusing? It sounds more like the SDK location than a user-specific android folder. Maybe ANDROID_USER_HOME... I tried copying my old d:\.android to c:\Users\<user>\.android but that didnt work because AVD .ini files use absolute paths. So I just created the AVDs fresh and it all works. Maybe relative paths make more sense... My suspicion is that the "android" command tool is calculating the .android location to be the parent of, for example, My Documents (when ANDROID_SDK_HOME is not specified). Is this correct? If so, I think it should be changed to default to the USERPROFILE variable instead.
