I have been trying to download Android Studio for the past week or so and haven't been able to. I'm still running windows XP on a Dell d430 (If it helps). The error happened when it was extracting a file. If you could provide a link which can download android studio for Windows XP on a Dell d430, please do. Thank you for your time (by the way I know that this question doesn't have much to do with programming).

Version 1.X only supported for Windows XP
The self-extraction that the installation binary performs has definitely nothing to do with what version of Studio you try to install or whether it supports XP or not, the installation shall start and tell you if there's a problem.
Actually, you can run Android Studio fine on Windows XP, I do it on a Dell Inspiron 9200 (Intel Pentium 1.7GHz 2GB RAM). I even installed the latest version 2.3.2 and Java SDK 8(which is required: make sure it's not just JRE 8 but both). Java SDK 8 complains about XP being old but installs fine. There's a snag in Studio tools with an XP dll but that can be fixed, read on.
The downloading doesn't involve extracting as your question implies, if it does you haven't got the right download. When downloading is done and the installation is started, that's when the extraction begins.
If you didn't download from developer.android.com/studio/ it might contain malware. You could scan it but being a huge file(approx. 2GB) you have to download a scanner, e.g https://www.bitdefender.com/support/how-to-install-bitdefender-on-windows-xp-and-windows-vista-1453.html
For Windows versions newer than XP / Vista refer to www.bitdefender.com/toolbox/freeapps/desktop/
After the download is done (and verified if needed), your problem with the installation program might be one or more of, but not limited to:
The file you downloaded is corrupt. Try downloading another copy.
Corruption on your hard drive, however less likely if the same file fails to extract again and again.
Your Memory or CPU is failing. Very unlikely if the same file fails even twice.
Corruption in the current directory data block or a problem with the directory path. Try creating a folder at the root with no spaces in its name ( e.g. C:\Download ), move the installation file to it and run it from there.
About support/compatibility: it's not unpermitted trying to install and run, and I for one am all for it. But if it's not supported and you run into problems, another way to go rather then upgrading your system is to downgrade your software. Here you have suggestions, but take care scanning them for malware. For smaller files(current max 128MB) you can upload to Google owned www.virustotal.com/
How to install an older version of Android Studio
Finally, the dll problem in Android Studio 2.3.2 is with the adb program requiring a newer version of WS2_32.dll (it's technical: never mind). A work around is to download an older version of adb:
forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/general/psa-fix-adb-doesnt-winxp-t3403955
Or, as the suggestion here says: if you're feeling adventurous, you can always grab the new WS2_32.dll, then scan it by uploading to www.virustotal.com/, and register it with the command regsvr32 WS2_32.dll (google regsvr32 for more info on that).

Most likely, Windows XP is not supported. You should find a way to update your operating system. Consider installing Linux on your old machine. Recent distributions will work albeit very slowly.

This morning I downloaded Cytoscape v3.8.0 and I can no longer successfully open the app.
Before this, I was using v3.7.4 (I believe?) and did not encounter any issues. I am working off a laptop with Windows 10.
After realizing that I could not open Cytoscape I went and downloaded the most recent version of Java but that did not appear to help.
I also tried downloading the Cytoscape troubleshooter for Windows, however, it only downloads as a .txt file and I cannot figure out how to use that to test my system.
If I try opening the app, it appears very quickly with "Cytoscape 3.8.0 - Initializing OSGi container..." before crashing.
Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated!
It's a little hard to diagnose your issues without a little more information, unfortunately. When you say you downloaded the latest Java -- which version did you actually download? If you open up a command (cmd) window and change directory to the Cytoscape install, can you try to run cytoscape.bat? What does it do, and what error messages are printed? If that doesn't work, in that same window, type "java -version" and let us know which version of Java is set to be the default. That will help us figure things out.
If you are on a Mac, a recent update has caused OpenCL based Cytoscape Apps to fail and prevents Cytoscape from launching.
This will be fixed in future updates, but you can fix your Mac installation immediately by disabling OpenCL by either of the two following methods:
Download the disable-opencl.dummy file to your CytoscapeConfiguration
directory (in your user home directory).
Or, you can create an empty dummy file by running this command in Terminal:
touch ~/CytoscapeConfiguration/disable-opencl.dummy
These fixes are described at Cytoscape.org.
I tried to download Java on my laptop (which has windows 10) but i keep getting a 1603 error. My computer used to have windows 8.1 and it did not work back then either
I appreciate any advice to solve or work around this problem
I have had this problem. I was able to fix it thanks to a co-worker. The problem started happening after I installed HP Unified Functional Testing (UFT, aka QTP). Installing this product changes the Windows environment variables used by Java. He told me the following: "So change the names of JAVA_OPTIONS, IBM_JAVA_OPTIONS, JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS to something else (both in system and user variables) and delete any Java folder(in Program Files (x86) or Program Files) which gets installed despite the error. Restart the system and then try installing Java."
Actually, all I did was rename the environment variables and run the installer. This worked.
My answer is not related to win 10, but might help someone who is having similar problem in windows 7 machine and not able to install jre 32 bit version.
the work around to this is once you downloaded the jre, copy the path "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_121\bin\javaw.exe" and paste it under java runtime environment settings which is found -Java Control panel>java>view
I think you downloaded the wrong version. If your laptop support x64 bit software you should download Java 1.8 x64 version.
Here is the link.

I had this problem for a month now. I tried everything on my windows 8, but I couldn't get the latest java on it. When I tried to install java on an empty computer, the 64 bit version did not go through (error 1603) and I realized the problem didn't come from an old java install and I install 32 bit. it worked on the new computer with windows 7 and on my computer running 8.1.
note: I had deleted all the java versions before going through with it.
To fix java 1603 error you have to follow few simple steps.
First of all remove all old java version.
Then remove some windows update file which might be reason of this
error. Like KB2918614 update.
After that download and Install latest version of java and activate
java in browser. Now everything will be fine you can test the java
version on java website...
For explained and easy solution to java 1603 error follow this link: http://protechguides.com/java-error-code-1603-solved/
I encountered this error on Windows 8.1 and when I checked with Oracle web site, they said that is is not yet resolved, and under investigation. They also showed a link for off-line installation as an alternative arrangement. However, upon investigation of my system, i found out that the available space in C drive was only about 20 MB or so. I cleared my system and provided enough space. When I tried with the extra space, I didn't encounter any error. May be, you could try with a better free space...
First you should close the browser because if any webpage will use Java, it will cause conflict. Then do custom installation, i.e. install in some other folder other than default folder and point environment variable to newly installed Java location. It will resolve your issue.
I downloaded bluecove-2.1.0.jar and added it as an external JAR on my Eclipse project. I am following this tutorial for using Bluetooth with Android: http://luugiathuy.com/2011/02/android-java-bluetooth/
When I run the program intended for my laptop to act as a server, I get an error stating 'Native library bluecove not available'. I made sure bluetooth was enabled by typing 'bluetooth' in Spotlight (which took me to Bluetooth File Exchange and allowed me to select a file to send).
I saw another Stackoverflow post stating that BlueCove requires 32-bit JVM to run so I added the -d32 argument under VM arguments in the run configuration. When I ran it, I got another error stating
"Error: This Java instance does not support a 32-bit JVM.
Please install the desired version."
Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?
Try using OpenJDK rather than the Oracle JDK. This supports the -d32 arguments so it ought to work for you.
OpenJDK may work as Mike suggested but its installation process was rather involved. I found a workaround by installing an earlier version of Eclipse that supported 32-bit OS X versions and setting -d32 in the VM arguments there worked without issues. Be sure to keep the earlier version of Eclipse in a separate folder so it doesn't overwrite your recent version.
I installed the 32-bit version of Eclipse Kepler from here: https://eclipse.org/downloads/packages/release/Kepler/SR2
Of course, Bluecove had some other issues with IOBluetooth device not found (since Apple removed that since OS X 10.8 I believe), for which you can check here for a possible solution.
First off, I've been trying to launch Eclipse but I kept getting the below error
Failed to load JNI shared library "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.8.0_25\bin...\jre\bin\client\jvm.dll"
So I looked through this thread
Failed to load the JNI shared Library (JDK)
The sensing I got was that I might want to uninstall Java and make sure I have the right 64 bit version, since I already have a 64 bit Eclipse.
I went ahead and went to uninstall the Java Update files via the control panel, which went fine.
Then when I tried to delete the Java files in my Program Files (x86) folder, I can't do it as the "file is being used by another process"
Now I can't install a new version of Java as I get an error code 1603 owing to the incomplete Java files, and I still got my JNI shared library error to fix.
I'm really stuck now. What do I do?
If you use 64 bit eclipse, you need a 64 bit operating system and 64 bit JDK. Close your eclipse and JDK, remove X86 JDK and install 64bit JDK.
ctrl+shift+esc open task manager and end all processes that are opened by java. Sometimes when you run java and your applications don't close properly, java run-time environment is still running. So you have to force java out of that state. Next time, i'd just install the newer version of java right on top of the old one. Because the installation process removes the old version of java for you and replaces it with the newest one.
with jframes using the code
setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE)
this is essential to your program so it closes completely.
After a couple of months with no Android development, I ran the SDK Manager yesterday, and upgraded from r16 to r18. After that upgrade, everything stopped working. I downloaded a fresh copy of the SDK tools from Google. The Windows installer complains there's no Java installed (the solution here , which used to work before, doesn't work).
I downloaded the ZIP file instead and put it in the right place. Running SDK Manager.EXE does nothing (it just returns immediately to the command prompt). Running tools\android.bat displays an error complaining "Failed to convert path to a short DOS path: c:\windows\system32\java.exe", and then suggests I install Java.
I'm running Windows 7 64-bit, with Java 1.7 (64 bit) properly installed (Eclipse runs well, the Android tools r16 ran very well until yesterday). c:\windows\system32\java.exe exists and works as it should.
What am I doing wrong?
UPDATE: I found an old r16 setup around. I installed it and everything went back to normal.
I put this one aside for a while, but now I had to get it back running. I didn't want to install a 32-bit Java VM alongside the 64 bit one I have.
I found the culprit. in android_sdk\tools\lib there's a batch-file called find_java.bat. It calls find_java.exe -s to find a list of potential Java locations. Running the exe file like this returns the error I've been seeing:
Failed to convert path to short DOS path: c:\windows\system32\java.exe
-s stands for short. Running it without the -s causes find_java.exe to work, causing find_java.bat to work, causing everything else to work. So the fix was to edit find_java.bat, and remove the -s .
I honestly don't know what Google is thinking.
My fix was to remove /bin from my JAVA_HOME, as in C:\Java\jdk1.6.0_26\bin --> C:\Java\jdk1.6.0_26\
I'm running 64bit java on W7.

This is just a guess, but I advise you to install JDK 6. It is said in the SDK requirements that you have to use it. I remember that I installed JDK 7 and I had some kind of trouble with it too.
Also it is safer to use the 32-bit version.
You need to also update the Eclipse plugins via Help > Install New Software.
I was able to fix same like problem by adding the jdk path to PATH variable in environment variables.
