Did you correctly select 'Download the stand-alone Android SDK Tools for Windows' then 32-bit or 64-bit? Normally it doesn't block the setup wizard but try by installing Java SE Development Kit (JDK) first.
BTW SDK Manager needs a few seconds to run.

You must run SDK Manager in adminstrator mode. Right click on SDK Manager & select" run as administrator".

worked great. thanks!
admin rights not working for me
I tried right clicking on the SDK manager button, but only got the following choices:
Lock the Toolbars
Customize Perspective
Hide Toolbar
I'm running Eclipse Helios, ADT 16.x, on a Windows 7 64bit machine.
Oops, instead of the button in the Eclipse interface, I then went to the sdk manager in the file system and right clicked on that, and it gave me the "run as administrator" choice. Thanks for the info.

[Q] SDK Manager won't open

Hi, I want to develop Android applications.
So I read and have download some apps & sdk.
I've download Android SDK. And open the SDK Manager.
while the SDK Manager is open, my computer suddenly freezes. I think it's because I was copying some Gigs of data from MicroSD to my HDD.
After I restart my computer, and trying to open the SDK Manager.exe, DOS window is opened for a while, and then closed. and nothing happened...
How to fix this...?
I would just erase/uninstall it all and restart. This happened to me and after the second time it worked.....

Please thank me if this helped!

[Q] Android SDK manager not starting on Windows 8

Hello,
I can't get Android SDK manager to run on Windows 8 x64. Every time I run the executable a command prompt window flashes briefly and then nothing happens. I have tried installing both 32 and 64 bit version of JDK 1.6 and running SDK manager with admin permissions and in compatibility mode.
Any help would be appreciated

It runs fine for me on Windows 8 Pro x64. The command propt window does flash, but the manager comes up soon after. I have JDK 1.7 though.

The same was in Windows7 64-bit for some SDK version (dont remember version number).
It was solved by switching off some windows security checking. May be this is not best solution, but works.
Got a fix
I was having this problem too. It's caused by the PATH variables to java.exe being set incorrectly. You can modify the environment to have java_exe pointing to wherever it is C:\Windows\System32\java.exe for me or modify android.bat in tools to change set java_exe= call lib\find_java.bat if not defined java_exe goto :EOF
to this: set java_exe="D:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_07\bin\java.exe" where the path is the path to your java exe
you can then run android.bat and it works. The reason (re)installing java works is because it adds the path variables for you. They must have gotten changed/moved when I upgraded to windows 8
I'm having the same issue. Installed JDK 1.7 but still the same issue.
I have a fresh Install of W8 and am just now trying to install JDK and SDK.
.
I also cannot launch SDK Manager

I am having the identical problem. I try to launch SDK Manager and get a quick cmd flash and then nothing. I am on Win8 Pro with jdk 1.7.0_21.
I added c:\Windows\System32\java.exe to the path (correct on my system) but no obvious change in result. Then edited set java_exe in android.bat to "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_21\bin\java.exe" and ran the batch file, and still I just get a quick flash of the command window. My java sdk was just installed today prior to setting up the ADT Bundle for Windows. Eclipse loads with ADT, but the SDK Manager is still a no go. Thanks in advance for any ideas.
Solved my Windows 8 problem
Hi,
I have been having similar problems with Android SDK manager not starting in Windows 8. Tried altering Java paths and messing with Android.bat etc. etc. but am now convinced the problem is with the UAC of Windows 8. Why?
1) Originally installed Eclipse in a sub dir of Program Files and found that I could not edit any sub dir there (like Android.bat) because of User Access Controls (UAC)... got me thinking...
2) So re-installed Eclipse in a sub dir under my user, and bingo... SDK manager works fine now.
It is possible to disable all UAC in Win 8 Pro using secpol.msc, but I don't have Pro version and it's not in bog standard version... However, you can still edit the registry to give all apps admin privileges but seems a bit drastic to have to do this...

Install the SDK and Eclipse IDE
1.Unpack the ZIP file (named adt-bundle-<os_platform>.zip) and save it to an appropriate location, such as a "Development" directory in your home directory.
try c:\Development\

This is what worked for me. Thanks!!!
I originally had it in User\Documents\
same problem
I am having same problem like you buddy.help would be much appreciated.
Same here
Yeah I've reinstalled everything as described here, and I am still unable to get it to launch. Just getting the brief flash of a CMD prompt.
Finally solved it!
I had the exact same problem. I have gone crazy trying to fix this for past 1 day. Finally solved it using this guide: http://www.dominantwire.com/2015/03/android-sdk-not-opening.html.
Had to do some tweaks in the android.bat file and re-specify the environment variable paths. The solution is pretty universal. Should work for you guys as well.

Need help with this ive been at it some time now i took a break and now im back at it again and looking to solve this promblem so i can develop applications. Thank You
Did you try a clean install?
This file should be located in <ANDROID-SDK>/tools/android.bat.
