I have installed Android Studio, and I found some troubles. First I couldn't install it because didn't found the JDK, the solutions were two, change the name of the jre folder or install the 32-bit version of java, after the installation it does not run, doesn't do anything. Can somebody help me?, I have Windows 8 and my pc is a VAIO VGN-NW230T, maybe the processor is old, I don't know, thanks.
You can try the fix for Windows 7 that worked for me. More details can be found here https://stackoverflow.com/a/16583198/2345220.
I would be interested to know if it works in Windows 8 as well.
