Android Studio Setup Wizard Stuck on Downloading Components


So far, I've run into a brick wall when trying to open Android Studio. Installation seems to run fine, but when I open the program for the first time, I am greeted with the setup wizard which informs me that it will be downloading components.

The first line in the dialog box tells me that the sdk has been installed in a specific location, which it then lists.

At the bottom, there are greyed-out navigation buttons for 'Back' 'Next' and 'Finish'. The 'Cancel' button is active, but when I click it, nothing happens.

There is no button for 'Show Details' to reveal what is going on behind the scenes.

Basically, this screen does not advance. I have tried on multiple different internet connections. I am not using a proxy.

When I hit cancel, the button becomes greyed-out, and nothing happens. The only way to exit the screen is to force close it in Task Manager.

I have tried running as an administrator.

I am currently running Windows 8.1.

Any ideas what is wrong?


Solution

  • Solution for now was to use an older stable version. 1.0.2 worked fine.
