I've just downloaded Android Studio 3 for Windows from the official website, but when it starts, it displays an error message about a missing Android SDK:

Android SDK missing. You can obtain it from d.android.com/sdk

When I click that link, it just redirects to the same official website. There isn't a separate link there for SDK download.

Where could I get it from? Shouldn't the Android SDK be installed during Android Studio 3 setup?

Apparently, the problem was that Android Studio 3.0 had already been installed and uninstalled before this. The SDK got removed, but Android Studio's config didn't.

Removing the config from a previous install (C:\Users\<user>\.AndroidStudio3.0 folder) did the trick. When Android Studio started up, it opened a dialog about which parts of the SDK to download, and then proceeded as expected.
