Hi, I’m Picard and I have really wanted to start whith Basic4A. I have purchased the full version this morning, but I can not run the emulator. Please help me if you can with this information:

emulator: ERROR: no search paths found in this AVD's configuration.
Weird, the AVD's config.ini file is malformed. Try re-creating it.

Paths:

C:\Archivos de programa\Java\jdk1.6.0_26\bin\javac.exe
C:\ANDROID\platforms\android-8\android.jar

JAVA Installed:

jdk-6u26-windows-i586.exe
installer_r08-windows.exe

Installed packages:
Android SDK Tools, revision 8
Android SDK Platform-tools, revision 6
SDK Platform Android 2.2 API 8, revision 3

Available packages:

If I check Android Repository then all packages are checked automatically. I un-check all of them except:
Android Repository
SDK Platform Android 2.2 API 8, revision 3

Downloading SDK Platform Android 2.2, API 8, revision 3
Installing SDK Platform Android 2.2, API 8, revision 3
Installed SDK Platform Android 2.2, API 8, revision 3
But “SDK Platform Android 2.2 API 8, revision 3” is not checked, if I check it the button “Install selected” is active again…

Please help me

Thanks in advance.

avd issue

There have been some issues on some computers that have spaces in the path names. You can try renaming your directories and remove the spaces or reinstall to a path with no spaces in the name.

Thanks,

This error is probably because your windows user folder contains non-ascii characters.

Successful Installation

Thank you very much Margret and Erel.
I've tried to solve the problem on my old desktop but I couldn't. May be when I will be bored...
I've instaled again all the software in my laptop (W. Vista) and it works perfectly. No problem with paths...

I have completed my firts program!.

Erel I think that Basic4Android is perfect for me to continue programming for the new platforms, taking advantage of previous knowledge in basic(4PPC). No professionals like me, can work easily and professionals can improve productivity.

Thanks
