I read somewhere that it might be a bug...The work around was to press back and then Next and it should find the JDK.

EDIT: it should not be like this: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_03\bin don't include the \bin just C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_03 then apply and restart your computer.

Hope that helps.

What version is your JRE? Is it really located at C:\Program Files\Java, or is it in a subfolder of that (e.g. C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0)?

The accepted answer at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5492937/windows-ignores-java-home-how-to-set-jdk-as-default might shed some light. Is java.exe present in C:\WINDOWS\system32? – weelillad Jul 27 '12 at 02:11
java, javaw and javaws are all present – FabianCook Jul 27 '12 at 02:13
what happens when you execute "java -version" from the command prompt? – weelillad Jul 27 '12 at 02:17
Haha, that's good. For future reference, what is your JAVA_HOME set to now? – weelillad Jul 27 '12 at 02:22

I had a similar problem and found the answer here: Android SDK installation doesn't find JDK

thx to simon for the answer: Use 32-bit JDK not the 64-bit version.
