[International / GSM] SDK Manager won't open?

[QuickDraw23]

Hey all, trying to get ADB and everything all set up to unlock my Nexus. However, when I go to launch the SDK Manager it flashes cmd prompt window for a second and then crashes and never opens.

Has anyone dealt with this or know of a fix? I've searched and haven't been able to find a solution.

Running Windows 7 32-bit

Did you install the Java JDK?

Yup I tried everything. But alas nothing worked. So couldn't do the manual unlock and root unfortunately.

BUT the Superboot method posted above was incredibly simple with no problems. I'm now unlocked and rooted!

Hey guys I'm having the same problem. When I go into the android-sdk-windows folder and double click the SDK Manager exe i see my command window flash on for a second then crash immediately and nothing happens. I'm new to SDK and haven't used it before so I'm confused as to why this is happening. I'm also running 32bit Windows 7.

All I have done was download the zip for android-sdk-windows files then extracted them to the root C: of my computer. Is there something I'm missing or am I just dumb. And should i just bite the bullet and use the superboot method above? Thanks in advance

Edit: I'm stupid. I downloaded Java JDK and everything is good to go. False alarm.

I had the exact same problem. Had to do some tweaks in the android.bat file and re-specify the environment variable paths. Solved it using this guide: http://www.dominantwire.com/2015/03/android-sdk-not-opening.html.
The solution is pretty universal. Should work for you guys as well.
