SET ANDROID_SDK_HOME variable not working for me.
- Open eclipse
- Click on window menu and then select preference.
- Select android from left hand side.
- Now SET SDK location
e.g. E:\android\sdk instead of ../sdk
means setAbsolute path
instead ofRelative path
.
Its worked for me.
I hope this help someone and save time.

I got this when my avd folder path had spaces in it and was on a network share. If there is anything "unusual" about your avd folder (spaces, special characters, network share, long path) I would suggest moving it to something simple like c:\avd
There is a question that deals with moving the folder here: Moving default AVD configuration folder (.android)
Once I had reconfigured the folder I had to reboot my PC before it would work.
Try these:
1-Open Eclipse launcher's properties (not shortcut's)
2-Select "compatibility" tab
3-Check "Run this program as an administrator"
4-OK

If you're SDK path is relative, change it to an absolute path.
This was happening to me when launching the manager from Eclipse where I had the SDK path configured as a relative path and not an absolute path. Changing the path to an absolute one fixed the issue.
