Android sdk platform-tools install error on windows xp


I have windows XP and Eclipse Java EE Indigo SR1 installed on my laptop. I installed android SDK r16 and ADT 16.0.1. My first problem is that instead of having "Android SDK and AVD Manager" in my window menu in eclipse, I have "Android SDK Manager" and "AVD Manager" separately. Is something wrong with my Eclipse or what?

My second problem is that I cannot install SDK Platform-tools, when I click on "Android SDK Manager" this window appears:

Not only this window does not contain any entry named "sdk platform-tools", cf. this picture from android documentation,but also when i try to install "Archive for Windows x86" I get this page:

as you see the "Installed" button is disabled. What can I do to install sdk platform-tools on my computer?

    Other problems can be connected with the version of your JDK. To use Android SDK you should use only JDK 5 or JDK 6. Check maybe you have installed JDK7 (it is not supported still)
