Hi, just tried this again with the ADT 0.9.3 (downloaded today) and Android 1.6 r1 (also from today) and in the "Virtual Devices"-Window I can see my newly created AVD with a green checker to the left: "A valid Android Virtual Device".
ANDROID_SDK_HOME is properly set to "C:\Users\nico;" for user and system-environment variables. I can also see the emulator-image being properly created in "C:\Users \nico\.android\avd\Emu_1_6.avd\userdata.img". I'm using Windows7 RC 64Bit with a 64 Bit JDK and Eclipse is running (or has to run) with its own 32 Bit JRE. Any ideas?
