Cannot find 'emulator.exe' when trying to test apps

Question

I'm working with KonyOne Studio to build and test apps. The Android SDK is located in C:\Android\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20130729\sdk and the emulator is located at C:\Android\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20130729\sdk\tools\emulator.exe. When I try to run apps, I get the error:

Windows cannot find 'emulator.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again.

When I just run the emulator.exe executable, I get a quick cmd screen and it disappears as quick as it appeared. Nothing shows up in my task manager.

I've set the following environment variables:

JAVA_HOME: C:\Java\jdk1.6.0_32
PATH: C:\Java\jdk1.6.0_32;D:\Users\SIMONSJP.GROUPINFRA\AppData\Roaming\npm;
      C:\KonyOne\ImageMagick;C:\apache-ant-1.9.2\bin;C:\Java\jdk1.6.0_32\bin;
      C:\Android\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20130729\sdk\platform-tools;

Ofcourse the above is without spaces. I don't understand why the emulator doesn't run. Can anyone figure out why it isn't working?

Your path variable only includes platform-tools. It needs to include the path to the emulator too. Two ways:

• Copy the emulator.exe to platform-tools
• add the tools folder to path variable.
