Can't install Eclipse on Windows XP

I can't install the Eclipse package that BT wants me too. When I open to downloaded file, a program I have starts to view the files and gives me the option to extract them, but I can't get it to install and need help. Thanks!

Someone can correct me here if I'm not remembering correctly, but I recently downloaded the latest version and am pretty sure there was no installer. It opens with your .zip software, and you just extract them to a location of your choice. The executable is eclipse.exe I'm pretty sure. I had to create a shortcut to eclipse.exe and add it to my start menu program files manually.

@GoNorthWest has a Windows installation guide for Eclipse, did you run through that? It's right here on BT: http://www.buzztouch.com/files/howtos/Setting_Up_Your_Android_Development_Environment_v1.3.pdf

Even better is my "buzztouch for Android" guide. The install steps have been refined, and come with illustrations! http://www.buzztouch.com/files/howtos/buzztouch_For_Android-A_Users_Guide.pdf Give that a shot and let us know how it works! Mark

You guys are awesome - Buzztouch doesn't lie when they say that your most important thing in developing is your co-developers. Btw I'm 13 but don't judge that I dont know about computers 'cause I do!

I Friends, i am new here and i go the answer for my very first question, and i thank all of you guys here for this :-) I followed the pdf given by GoNorthWest, and i think the Android SDK is updated. To get what is given in the screen shots that is Android 4.0 SDK i downloaded the new installer "installer_r20.0.1-windows.exe" and it provides the options showed in the pdf. you can download the package ... http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
