Multi-Device Hybrid Apps for Visual Studio: ripple emulator doesn't start

I have the same problem like Fabio in this post. Unfortunately I can't add answer. I know that problem can be connected with white space in my user name. Can I change path from "c:\users\forename surname...", to "c:\users\forenamesurname..." ?

Solution

  • To change your username, I suggest creating a new user with the desired name. As far as dependencies are concerned, in case you used the Multi-Device Hybrid Apps installer for all your dependencies, here are the changes to be made:

    • Create a new user and login
    • Go to Control Panel -> Programs and Features
    • Uninstall Android SDK
    • Download the Android SDK again from here.
    • Install it choosing "Install for all users on this machine"
    • Install the following packages in the Android SDK manager:

    enter image description here

    • Open your system Environment Settings:
    • Change the ADT_HOME to: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk" (or if you chose a custom install directory)

    Everything should run as expected now.
