This is the error I get when I try to install gapps (obtained from here, following these instructions).

I navigated to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node as instructed in here, but I didn't found any "Android SDK Tools" folder:

which is weird because I do have Android SDK tools installed:

What am I doing wrong?

Adding the key manually in the registry fixed it for me.

  1. Type regedit.exe

  2. Find the following node:

Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\

Add:

  • Key: Android SDK Tools

  • String Value: Path with the Path to your sdk

The other answer didn't work for me but I stumbled on this answer that points out (in #5) that newer versions expect the parent folder for platform-tools rather than the folder itself.
