[android-developers] Re: Android SDK not working on Windows 7

[hoss spence]

Actually I just tried it and it worked.
The only thing I can think of was that I rebooted and perhaps that
fixed something environmental.
I looked more closely and Edo's original problem and realize I had a
different issue anyway . Mine was looking for some resource that it
couldn't find.
My apologies for being misleading.

[android-developers] Re: Android SDK not working on Windows 7

[hoss spence]

Hi,

  I get my first name back (which is how I log in and appended to
\Users\ gives me my real login directory ). That seems valid. Also
  public static void main(String[] args) {
 System.getProperties().list(System.out);
}
comes up with reasonable stuff. I intend to try and debug this over
the weekend.

Worse comes to worse I can Jad the jar file classes and run it through
the Eclipse debugger to see what's going on.

  Hi!

  I contacted my pc manufacturer about the issue, they weren't any help.
  I am sure though that the cause of the issue has something to do with
  preinstalled windows 7 versions!
  I don't know where the problem really lies, maybe Java reads the wrong
  registry key or those preinstalled windows 7 versions fill the wrong
  keys or something I don't know.

  I finally just installed windows 7 from a retail DVD.. this fixed the 
  problem.

  Thank you all for your help in figuring this out
  Hoss, good luck I hope you reach a solution soon, because it is a
  frustrating problem!

  With kind regards,

   It is a derivative of Vista, after all.

   Edo, I'd say your problem is more with your specific environment or
   configuration than it is with Windows 7.  Consider wiping all of your
   java installation stuff and environment variables and reinstalling
   java to get it clean.  I didn't set any special environment variables
   for anything anywhere.

   In fact, all I did was dump eclipse on, drop the SDK into c:
   \Android_SDK and install ADT.  Everything worked first try - but it
   was a totally clean installation.

 That's weird if Windows 7 does this in a new way. You need to know
 where the Java system property user.home is because that is the
 default location for your AVD images.

 This one line program will list the properties -

         System.getProperties().list(System.out);
    }

Does anybody have any suggestions? Or a solution perhaps?
