I looked through the FAQs for download issues and scanned through the forums, but didn't see this particular question. Please forgive me if it's been asked and answered elsewhere.
This is on a personal non-work computer. I'm the administrator on the machine. This was a brand new installation of the JDK, Eclipse, and the ADK. With help from a brief tutorial, I was able to install the JDK to C:\Program Files\Java\jre7 and edited my environment variables path in Advanced System Settings to include c:\program files\java\jdk1.7.0_05\bin\ . Off hand, it looks like I've installed to one folder and the bin file is in a different folder under jdk 1.7.0_05\bin. In the tutorial that I viewed, it mentioned that you had to specific with the exact version that you were using. Then I installed Eclipse SDK also in the C:\Program Files folder. I read that no adjustment was necessary to the environment variables. At this point, it was suggested that I try Eclipse to find out how it was going so far. I opened Eclipse, chose my workgroup, and chose "File, New, Java Project" as suggested and was prompted for a project name. It seems as though everything was going great so far with no hitches. ... so far so good Finally, I installed the JDK in the C:\Program Files folder. After I finished, then I edited my environment variables path in Advanced System Settings to include c:\program files (x86)\android-sdk\tools\ . I wasn't sure why it was necessary to add the ( x86 ) and the -sdk to the path , but this was from a trusted source. I went out to http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse from Help and Install New Software. I downloaded everything that was suggested. However, this is where I ran into trouble. When I opened Eclipse, as an Administrator ( per the suggestion in the tutorial), I was supposed to choose File, New, and see the option for "Android Project", but it wasn't included in the menu. In troubleshooting, I tried changing the environment variables path dropping the (x86) and the -sdk. Then I tried dropping just the -sdk and leaving the (x86) and vice versa. I tried reinstalling the tools from http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse , but I received a message that the components had already been installed on this pc. In order to provide as many details as was necessary, I decided to go out and check the version number of the software (version 4.2.0 ..the latest version at the Eclipse website) . I saw a button for "Installation Details" which I clicked on. Android DDMS, Android Development Tools, Android Hierarchy Viewer, Android Native Development Tools, Android TraceView, Eclipse SDK, and Tracer for Open GLES are all in the list under Installed Software. Under Features , that whole host of software is included in addition to the Dalvik Debug Monitor. They're also included under Plug-Ins. In one thread on the forum, I saw where an additional Google plug-in was suggested to a user who was having an installation problem, BUT I was afraid to possibly add additional problems to resolve.
