I’ve just gotten Windows 7 installed on my work computer. Normally I’d opt for 32 bit installations, as I usually find that a lot of my production suites doesn’t function that well with 64, but I had forgotten ask Nick from ITNG this odd request, so now I have 64-bit. It really ought to work, and in theory I really want to use the fastest operating system (OK, preferably a Linux kind, but so is work, that it is almost impossible for me!)

Unfortunately when I installed Android after installing Java I got into trouble. The adb didn’t load at all, and when trying the “android” command from the (awful) windows terminal, I got:

Exception in thread “main” java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: org.eclipse.swt.inter
nal.win32.OS.LOWORD(I)I

Most links on the interwebs, and indeed the Android Java-docs, said that relates to the NDK, but I haven’t installed that yet, and have made no references to it yet. I thought it was because I had installed Java 64bit , so I tried to install 32bit instead, with no luck. In desperation I tried installing both 32 and 64 bit alongside each other. With little hope I tried the “android” command, and it seemingly works, at least I’m installing Android SDKs right now…
