Try putting the ADT folder directly onto your C:/ root folder. It's now located in a Temp folder under your AppData, which is not a good idea. This folder is meant to be for temporary files.

Ok, I tried your solution yesterday and put it straight into my C drive, in first folder, (where programs, windows, user) folders are.

I then repeated the process in the video that I am currently on which says to run the initial_setup and then run the eclipse app.

When I did this the it still produced the dialog box in the ss.

the video I am currently on is: http://teamtreehouse.com/library/build-a-simple-android-app/getting-started-with-android/android-setup-and-the-crystal-ball-project-2

NOTE: There is an update of this course due to new versions of the software used. I will update the course and try it again with the newly updated course. Ya never know.

Cheers

Use a symbolic link that points from the current location of the SDK to the new area. I had this issue when going from Eclipse to Android studio while wanting to actually use both. You can also just install a second set of SDK files into the new location and make sure the IDE sees it. In other words, one SDK for one IDE, one for the other.Depends on how much hard drive space you want to use.
