Hello

I used the Android SDK on my PC earlier to do some maintenance and now I find that Eclipse and NetBeans won't open either the SDK or the AVD or SDK Managers. When I try from either IDE, or from Windows itself, all I get is the message:

'Failed to execute tools\android.bat. The system cannot find the file specified.'

The file in question was, from what I can tell from looking at other instances of this problem, in the /android-sdk/tools sub-folder.

I should add that some instances of this problem refer to Windows environment settings. I have none of those for Android and have not tried moving the the AVD or SDK Manager executables to other folders.

Can anyone advise?

Martin.
