ERROR: No initial system image for this configuration!

When I try to run my Emulator for the first time I get the following message

"Starting emulator for AVD 'Android44' emulator: ERROR: No initial system image for this configuration!"

Can anyone tell me what does it mean?

Hey Matheus,

Good shout, I have a sneaky suspicion that the files got corrupted during the extraction process.

Download and extract again and all is well with the world again

cheers for the hint
