Android installation/SDK Manager issues
<p>I have downloaded android-sdk_r08-windows.zip and installed it in c:.  When I try to run the SDK Manager, it briefly pops up a DOS window then closes.  Trying to run adroid update sdk results in a null pointer exception.  I have tried uninstalling/reinstalling the SDK for both android and java multiple times.  This is on windows XP SP3.  Any ideas?</p>

<p>Thanks,</p>
