what were you doing when this error occured? why did you uninstall android studios and re-iinstall it? were you getting a different error?
just remember the more info you give us, the better we can help.
Development thread moved to the dev area for better exposure. Good luck!! 
Thanks. Appreciate it! Helped alot.Development thread moved to the dev area for better exposure. Good luck!!
I was in the process of installing Android Studio from the .exe file on the "bin" folder I extracted from the package I downloaded, the first error I got was "Unable to access Android SDK add-on list". After that, I got another err "you must download the necessary components".
After setting the directory location for the files to be downloaded, I received this error. Though the error exist, I can still press "finish" and moved forward.
However, when I want to create a new project I get a "Your Android SDK is missing" err (I have the sdk commandlines downloaded but don't know where to put them!!).
Finally, when I open sdk manager, I get "Android sdk location can't be at the filesystem root" err.
I uninstalled Android Studio because I couldn't find a way to attach Android documentation to a project I was working on (which should be attached by default!!). An internet answer guided me to reinstall the software and download all the recommended tools (which apparently didn't go well).
I hope that was explanatory enough. Thanks in advance for your help
