Android SDK cannot detect JDK

Normally I develop Android on Linux machine, and just tried to install the new version of Android SDK on my Windows 7 machine today. I download the exe version of Android SDK, installer_r10-windows.exe. And run it, it's complained by Android SDK Tools Setup that Java SE Development Kit not found. No matter how I config my Windows 7 and JDK!!!

Android SDK cannot detect JDK

Finally I found out the solution:
- Press Back button on the error page
- Press Next again.
- OK !!!

    There is also problem with 64bit JDK - doesn't work with ADK, you must have 32bit JDK (same error is displayed).

    Hey,

    I'm using windows 7 64 bit and installed the java 1.7.0_03 verssion of JRE and JDK and had the same problem.

    I tried the "Back, Next" issue but it didn't work.
    I solve the problem by reinstalling the JRE and the JDK as an administrator
    by right clicking on the EXE files an choose "Run as administrator".
    after that the Android SDK installation found it with no problems.

    Simply copy java.exe and javaw.exe from C:\Windows\System32 to C:\Windows\SysWOW64

    Can also create symbolic link if you don't want to copy the files. (requires administrator privileges):
    mklink C:\Windows\SysWOW64\java.exe C:\Windows\System32\java.exe
    mklink C:\Windows\SysWOW64\javaw.exe C:\Windows\System32\javaw.exe

    Thanks...Actually error message is misleading. Installer was looking in Syswow64 folder. Just create symlinks as said in earlier comment by lennart.

    Use forward slashes instead of backslashes in the JAVA_HOME variable and dont include bin as following

    C:/Program Files/Java/jdk1.7.0_06/

    Everything i tried. Just clicking back and next wont help if jdk is already installed.
    Just run the Android sdk installation file by right clicking as Administrator.

    The solution is that we need to pay attention to what the software is requiring. The Android SDk require Java to be installed not only JDK. Java can be downloaded from this link https://www.java.com/en/download/ . Install it and that is all you need. Thanks
