I am trying to install Android SDK on windows 7 64-bit but it doesn’t work. I keep getting this screen:

JAVA SE Development Kit (JDK) not found.  
Error: Failed to find Java version for 'C:\Windows\system32\java.exe': [2] The system cannot find the file specified.  (...)   
If you believe you have a JDK installed and it was not properly recognized, simply set an environment variable JAVA_HOME to point to it.

I tried setting JAVA_HOME to C:\Windows\System32\java.exe (which is my install path) and it still doesn’t work.

In the command line i tested the version with java -version and it works perfectly.

Tried the old trick of back and next but sadly doesn’t work.

this is so disappointing…. any suggestions?

    It’s JDK, not Java, it’s missing.
    JAVA_HOME shouldn’t point to the java.exe file. It should point to the jdk-folder.
    Typically C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_23 or similar.
    If you haven’t got a jdk-folder somewhere, you should install JDK from here.

    Note that the official requirement for developing for Android is JDK 6.
