You need to check if your PC is of 64 bit or 32 bit operating system, then same goes for you JDK (64bit/32bit) and also for eclipse (64bit/32bit).

Make sure they all are of same.

I updated the bundles this afternoon and it appears there's an issue. I'm on it now - stay tuned! If you're really stuck, grab the ADT bundle from the Android developer site. It's the same thing at this point: http://developer.android.com/sdk

Great! I'm in the process of updating the bundles on our site, but I'm using my old Windows computer and it's taking forever to download and upload what I need. Should be set in a little while, but you'll be good with the ADT bundle. :)
