title: "Android Create" call fails in windows 7 - missing JDK
body: <p>I'm having a problem getting my android dev environment setup in Windows 7.  I follow the instructions <a href="http://developer.android.com/guide/tutorials/hello-world.html" rel="noreferrer">here,</a> as well as several environment sublinks.  I am using Eclipse with the Android plugin.  I have installed the Java JDK several times, in various locations (jdk-6u20-windows-i586.exe) - but I am obviously missing something.  </p>
  
  <p>Every time I run "android create avd --target 2 --name my_avd" I get an error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>    C:\Users\andrew&gt;android create avd --target 2 --name my_avd
  
  WARNING: Java not found in your path.
  Checking it it's installed in C:\Program Files\Java instead.
  
  
  ERROR: No suitable Java found. In order to properly use the Android Developer
  Tools, you need a suitable version of Java installed on your system. We
  recommend that you install the JDK version of JavaSE, available here:
    http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/
  
  You can find the complete Android SDK requirements here:

  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This error message is the reason for me installing the JDK several times over.  First I tried installing to a location on my e: drive.  I then moved it to the default loc (program files (x86)\java\jdk.6.something.  I also tried forcing it to go into the program files\ path, but it still automatically installs into the (x86) path.  I have added the install path to my path environment variable every single time, yet I still continue to get this error.  My suspicion is that windows 7 and the android tools are not playing together well in terms of finding the JDK, but who knows, it may be something entirely different.  If you have seen this error before, I would appreciate a hint.</p>
