You should try and install Android SDK Manager first. Run it as Administrator and download the latest Build Tools. Then install Android Studio and provide the location of your android sdk folder during or after install.

while installation i am getting an error window saying : Failed to install Intel HAXM. For details, please check the installation log: "c:\Users\Rahul\AppData\Local\Temp\nsnEE4A.tmp\haxm_silent_run.log". I am not sure does that mean.. Using eclipse for android development was way better than this. – Rahul Apr 04 '15 at 04:21
From what I can tell the Intel Haxam speeds up your app emulation while using the Android Studio AVD. You should use genymotion for testing your app, is way faster. Also if Android Studio is not working after this, you should do a clean install and without the AVD included in the options. – SebastianGreen Apr 04 '15 at 16:11
I downloaded android studios from https://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html. It goes up to 95% and then gives me this HAXM error. Then I click on ignore or skip. And when the installation is finished and when I start the android studios I see the error that I have mentioned in the screens above. I have not yet got an option to include the AVD or not. I am running a windows 8.1 machine, can that be a problem? I am really frustrated with this. – Rahul Apr 09 '15 at 05:40
Has your PC virtualization? Is it enabled in the bios? (the HAXM error seems quite weird to me) – madlymad Apr 25 '15 at 23:54
Ok, so I completed the installation, android studios works. But while running an application the system gives me an error the AVD cannot be launched because intel HAXM was not installed. When I am trying to install Intell HAXM from the android studios package, it gives me an error. Any help on this would be appreciated. – Rahul May 01 '15 at 09:21
Run the Android SDK Manager as Administrator and download the desired package. – SebastianGreen May 01 '15 at 09:47
