Exactly what package and version of Eclipse did you install? If "eclipse runtime" is is missing, then I think you might have an old version. Try downloading the latest Eclipse iDE for Java Developers package, that should work.

well i m using
Eclipse Galileo "Eclipse Java EE IDE for Web Developers"
and for java programs, j2ee my eclipse is working fine..

Steps i follow to installsdk:

1.> download android sdk(zip file).
2.> unzip that.
3.> open eclipse and install new software, and give the url and click next, then i got error..

Hi,

I had that exact problem yesterday, and after googling, the way to fix it is to force eclipse to run in Admin mode (on windows 7).
This worked for me.

Hope this helps.

thanks for replying...
but my system is already working in admin mode.....
do i need to externally switch my eclipse in admin mode?

Hi,

Your problem may be different to mine, but I did the following...

(on Windows 7)
Right click on the Eclipse program shortcut or program .exe file, then click on Properties.
On the Compatibility tab, check the box "Run this program as an administrator", and click on OK.

...and this fixed it for me.

Thanks.

Your problem may be different to mine, but I did the following...

As per SDK guidelines, to install Android SDK 16 you must have Eclipse Helios (Version 3.6) or higher is required for ADT 16.0.1.
So update your eclipse to helios version. That would solve your problem.
