I downloaded the Android Developer Tools (adt-bundle-windows.zip) from developer.android.com today. I followed the directions "Setting Up the ADT Bundle". It was simple download and un-zip although it does take a while.
When I run c:\mydir\adt-bundle-windows\eclipse\eclipse.exe, I get the following Error: "c:\mydir\adt-bundle-windows\eclipse\eclipse.exe is not a valid Win32 application"
The computer is a Win XP. I could not find any specifications about the Eclipse version on developer.android.com.
Any suggestion would be appreciated. Thanks for your help.

Hello John, I received the same error... On searching a bit, i found that my system is a 32 bit Windows XP, and the Eclipse provided in the bundle is 64 bit (check in the eclipse.ini file, 4th line). A 32 bit option should also be provided. :)

The next day, Nov 16, I gave up on that computer and decided to install eclipes and adt on another machine. On that day there was a selection for downloading either a 32 or a 64 bit version. I got the 32 bit and the name of the file was adt-bundle-windows-x86.zip. I checked the file I downloaded the day before and the name was adt-bundle-windows.zip with not indication of what version. The adt-bundle-windows-x86.zip version did "install" and run correctly. So the problem is solved. (Or else I made a mistake yesterday and there was versioning and I was just error prone and did not see it. There is evidence that I have made a mistake before....)
