Android SDK install: Java SE development Kit (JDK) not found

Question

Possible Duplicate:
Android SDK installation doesn't find JDK

I have installed Java runtime 6 to C:\src\libraries\jre6.

I installed Java JDK to C:\src\libraries\javasdk.

My %PATH% is set to:

PATH=C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem;C:\WINDOWS\system32 \WindowsPowerShell\v1.0;C:\src\libraries\javasdk\bin;C:\src\libraries\javasdk;C: \src\libraries\javasdk\jdk\bin;C:\src\libraries\javasdk\jdk;C:\src\libraries\jav asdk;

When I run the Android SDK installer I get the error:

"Java SE development Kit (JDK) not found"

I'm at a loss as to what the Android SDK cannot really find.

Windows 7 32 bit has the same behaviour as Windows XP SP3. Hit BACK and then NEXT again and you're able to install the Android SDK.

Yes worked for me. What a joke! Surely something like that wouldn't be hard to fix. Just lost time reinstalling, rebooting :( – Mark Evans May 06 '11 at 04:19
Lovely. Never had to do this on my 64bit machine. Perhaps a 32bit bug? – Jason May 10 '11 at 19:34
Thank you! This worked great! – Barlow Tucker May 12 '11 at 04:25
nice hack loooool , thanks a lot :) – Mahmoud Farahat May 13 '11 at 22:48
Thanks for the tip, what a silly bug – Dustin Gamester Aug 08 '11 at 22:38
at the beginning I thought it was a joke.. but it works :) – noloman Sep 09 '11 at 06:36
Makes me wonder how high the level of your frustration were before you found THAT out. – Jonas Elfström Sep 20 '11 at 20:10
Works with Vista too. Thanks. – Steve Sep 21 '11 at 02:31

The answer is bang on, but some clarification that might help some not familiar with registry editing (like me).

Run regedit.
Find [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Development Kit]
Right click on the key and click export, then save the file to the desktop.
Right click then click edit.
Add Wow6432Node to the path of each key in the file. See above (@Rog_enk) for an example. Save.
Back in regedit, click File->Import and select the file from above. Done.
Try the SDK installer again.

Need more clarification because the back and next solution isn't working anymore! – anon58192932 Jul 06 '12 at 20:02
OK. Can you be specific? Which SDK? – Joel Skrepnek Jul 06 '12 at 22:35
I just had to do this now [Sep '12] and this answer was posted Jan '11.. WTF.. – jim Sep 03 '12 at 09:32
did @dge's back/next solution not work? – Joel Skrepnek Sep 03 '12 at 17:07

On Windows 7 x64 the Android SDK Installer is looking for the JDK in the HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\JavaSoft registry branch.

But in reality the JavaSoft entry was placed in HKLM\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft. I copied all JavaSoft branch to the path search, and then the installer found the JDK.

Just press back, then next and it will find it. Android SDK installation doesn't find JDK

Windows 7 64 bit - same behaviour as windows XP SP3 and Windows 7 32 bit: Just set JAVA_HOME = C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_14 or whatever your actual path, start SDK, and after you'll get error - hit BACK and than NEXT again and you're able to install the Andriod SDK

It seems that creating and setting my environment variable, CLASSPATH, to C:\src\libraries\jre6\lib fixed my problem. I downloaded the Android SDK zip file, put it where I wanted it. I was able to proceed from there.
