Android SDK manager won't open

android path

So I installed the android sdk for Windows:

http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html (the installation link)

And ran into the path variable problem. So I fixed that by changing "PATH" in enviroment variables to include where my java.exe file is located from the JDK.

But now when I open the android sdk manager, a cmd-like screen just briefly flashes on for half a second then disappears. I have no idea what's going on and how to get this thing working.

Make sure your java\bin directory is in your path statement before the windows\system32 directory. The SDK Manager uses java and it was finding the one in the system32 folder.

In a CMD window, you can run 'where java'. Don't forget to restart your CMD after changing the path variable for checking.
