Huh? JDK not found? (on Windows 7 64-bit)
- by Android Eve
I am setting up a development environment for the latest Android 2.3 on a fresh install of Windows 7 64-bit.
I first installed the 64-bit JDK 6 (jdk-6u23-windows-x64.exe).
Then, I installed 64-bit Eclipse Classic 3.6 (eclipse-SDK-3.6.1-win32-x86_64.zip).
Then, I proceed to install the Android SDK Starter Package: installer_r08-windows.exe.
But... upon start it says: "Java SE Development Kit (JDK) not found."
Why? I just installed it.
Is this a mismatch between 32-bit and 64-bit?
How do I solve this?
Update (1): I tried setting the %JAVA_HOME% environment variable, as well as setting the Installed JREs in Eclipse, as suggested below. None of these solved the problem.
It appears that I am not the only experiencing the problem, as this thread suggests:

I wonder whether there is a 64-bit version of the Android SDK.
Update (2): I used the zip version instead (android-sdk_r08-windows.zip), ran android.bat, updated all SDK packages, and installed the ADT plugin (8.0.1), not before having to check: 'Contact all update sites during install to find required software'.
We'll see how this goes...
Update (3): It worked! (going to accept @bubu's answer shortly) -- but why doesn't the emulator include the HelloAndroid app when I run it (Ctrl+F11) from Eclipse?
