Visual Studio: Android SDK Setup (API Level 19 and 21,22,23)

I have this problem with the setup of Android SDK in Virtual Studio Community 2015. Whenever I try to install or repair VS, I always get problems with the setup of API Level 19 and 21,21 and 23. It always says that the packages were not downloaded and I should check my internet connection. However, my internet connection is working perfectly. I have seen many other users having similar problems, but none of the proposed fixes work for me. I have reinstalled VS twice and repaired it like 3 or 4 times. I checked my Java version and my proxy settings or tried installing them via the Android SDK Manager/alongside Android Studio. So far without any luck. I hope I have not overseen any fixes.
Unfortunately, the log is very long, so I can´t post it here (if you have any suggestions where I can post it, please tell me!). In the links you will find two screenshots of the error message I get.
Can you help me?
All I did was install Java SE Development Kit 8u151 from Oracle (Apparently VS 2015 uses Java 7 instead of 8) and then run VS 2015 as administrator and modify. The third party SDK's (19, 21, 23 & 22) were available and all installed correctly. Wish I had of known this before multiple installs and eventually a reinstall of my OS ...suppose I could have done with a clean slate though.
I was able to solved the problem above using the suggestion and comment of #Richard_Norton and #bugzapper from, https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/780c0b11-41da-4935-9ae5-dadf38292b51/android-sdk-setup-api-not-installed?forum=vssetup .
I uninstall the older version of Java SE Development Kit which is not Version 8.
I download and install the Java SE Development Kit Version 8 which you can get in here http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html .
Then after that i modify Visual Studio 2015 to Install Android SDK Setup (API Level 19 and 21), and 23.
I Hope, this answer can help future someone who is encountering this kind of problem.
Refer to the error message, you can have a try with the following methods:
Open Android SDK Manager and click Tools-Options… and check the option “Force https://... Sources to be fetched using https://...” and try to download those android SDK packages again. If you already tried this before, you can ignore it.
Check this blog: Visual Studio 2015 install failures (Android SDK Setup) behind a Proxy and follow the steps as below to fix it:
• BEFORE installing Visual Studio, create a file at this location: %USERPROFILE%.android\androidtool.cfg
• In the androidtool.cfg file that you just created, place those contents that you can find from the blog. Make sure to update “http.proxyPort” and “http.proxyHost” in the file!
• Install Visual Studio normally
Have a look at this similar issue: Visual Studio 2015 setup issue with Android SDK – hack it!, if you found the same root cause: all google repositories don’t have this package anymore on your side, you can try to create your own repository contains this missing package and let Visual Studio setup “think” he download the package and unzip it successfully.
BTW, the installation log file can upload to https://onedrive.live.com/ and share the link here.
Just start the SDK Manager from Visual Studio's menu (Tools/Android/Android SDK Manager...) and select the desired API level you do want and download them!
Anyhow, check with the SDK Manager, this is THE tool to get the Android SDK and at times you will need to update stuff through it!

How to install Xamarin.Android for Visual Studio Enterprise 2015 offline

I want to install Xamarin for Android Development in Visual Studio 2015 Enterprise.
While installing, Xamarin told me that I was missing a lot of features, so it would download and install them for me. The download size was around 2GB, and I have a really slow internet.
I wanted to know if there is a way to download Xamarin and all required components separately, using some download manager like IDM, and then be able to use it later to re-install/install on another PC.
Also, I was able to find offline setups for JRE and JDK, and also Android Studio and Android SDK/NDK, but still, the download size is around 1.5GB, which I presume is for the required Android SDK libraries, APIs and tools.
So, I am just asking for a guide on downloading all the components and store them for installing later.
According to the official docs (whose pictures are outdated, by the way) you should login to your account and then head to the download page where you could find links to different versions of Xamarin.
I did so, but all that's available there are older versions of Xamarin Studio and the universal installer. Similar searches on the Xamarin Forums yielded no results as well.
There's a way to find the direct URL for each installer by checking the XML used by the Platform Installer (located at \AppData\Local\Temp\Xamarin\downloads\InstallationManifest.xml). I haven't tested whether installing them separately will work or not, but it probably will. Just make sure to install them in the right order (and to install the Android SDK/NDK after installing Xamarin.Android)
Here are the links to the latest versions, as of today:
Xamarin.Android
Android SDK
Android NDK (x64)
GTK#
Xamarin Studio
Xamarin for Visual Studio
It'd be good if someone with a Mac could help me find the URL for Xamarin.iOS, but that's a start :P
You can download this XML file and find the link of latest version of all required components.I did this and the latest links are :
Java JDK 1.7
Android SDK 24.4.1
NDK 10 (32) or NDK 10 (64)
Xamarin for Visual Studio 2015 4.1.2.18
Intel HAXM 6.0.1
Microsoft MSBuild Tools 2015.0
You don't even need to login for download them.
After 1st web install, backup %tmp%\Xamarin\downloads\ , then on a new Windows:
Uninstall Java 1.8 if exists.
Manually install Java JDK 1.7u71 + GTK# + Android SDK (Install for anyone).
Extract NDK to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-ndk-r10e", or make NTFS junction to it (not to run out of C: space later).
Run XamarinInstaller having just *.zip files in %tmp%\Xamarin\downloads\, when you see that current download is "XamarinStudio", disconnect Internet (you can delete the NDK now).
When you see above the progress bar: "Downloading Xamarin Studio", you can close the web installer.
Manually install Xamarin.VisualStudio, and if you want, XamarinStudio.
Step 4 require Internet, but noting to download.
To make NTFS junction, from "C:\Program Files (x86)\Android" prompt:
mklink /j android-ndk-r10e T:\android-ndk-r10e
where T: can be USB drive, but not Network drive.
I know it's a link only answer (copyright!), but there are step-by-step instructions including screenshots of how to do that:
Installing Xamarin Made Easy with Offline Installation
I've not tried it, but it should help you.
Found this:
http://ionemind.com/content/get-direct-download-links-xamarin
Links to XML files with direct links to necessary components for Xamarin, including Xamarin for Visual Studio (version 4.5, for VS 2013 and 2015).
Another link I found:
https://dl.xamarin.com/XamarinforVisualStudio/Windows/Xamarin.VisualStudio_4.8.0.1289738.msi
I had installed Xamarin Studio 5 and then it autoupdated its components (to Xamarin Studio 6.3 and the mentioned VisualStudio Tools 4.8).
Then in the "AppData/Roaming/Xamarin X.X" I found a folder for temp downloads. There was the MSI file.
Then I just searched for this exact MSI name to get a direct link.
(on this site https://itblogdsi.blog.fc2.com/blog-entry-23.html)
There's actually some info about releases and MSI names and it has Xamarin.VisualStudio_4.9.0.1538920.msi so replace this part in the MSI link above.
It's for VS 2015 only.

Error when installing Windows 8 SDK

I'm trying to install the Windows 8 SDK. As requested by the installer, I uninstalled the Windows 7 SDK and than started the installation. The installer exits with an error:
You must uninstall the Windows Software Development Kit before you can install the latest version of the kit.
What components do I need to uninstall except the Windows 7 SDK?
If you have not found the answer to this yet, the MSDN article Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) for Windows 8 may help.
I ran into a similar problem. When the install of the Windows 8 SDK fails there will be a "Show log files" link visible. Click on that and then open the most recent log file. Search for the error you're seeing. There should be something in the log which says which component it found. (For me it was App Verifier.) Then go to Add/Remove Programs and uninstall that program. You should now be able to install the Windows 8 SDK.
I have Uninstall the current Windows Software Development Kit using Add/Remove Programs and then download the latest version from the MSDN site:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/hardware/hh852363.aspx
and manage to install the Win SDK with no errors

Can't start Windows Phone Emulator after installing Mango SDK

I've been working with the Windows Phone SDK 7.0 for a long time on my computer. Now I installed the SDK 7.1 (beta) and for some reason I can't start the emulator. I'm getting this error:
The program can't start because MFPlat.DLL is missing from your
computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.
I don't have that dll on my system, but I grabed it from another computer and put it in System32 and in the emulator directory, but still no luck. I tried reinstalling the SDK twice with no luck either.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
OK, I'll suggest first of all you need that files. In my system I found mfplat.dll in four different places. Also I found mfplat.dll.mui file (also in four different locations), which maybe also you need.
Here is links for that files (from my public dropbox folder). I make archives with different extensions.
There is a txt file with path in it in each folder, try copy to the same folder and give feedback.
7z archive
RAR archive
ZIP archive
I had the same issue. I tried this solution despite the possible dangers and it still did not work for me. The reason is that the dlls posted by Arterius are for the 64 bit version of Windows. I am on a 32 bit Win 7 OS.
I tried installing the WP7 SDK on another PC using the same installer and surprisingly, it worked perfectly. The only difference between these two machines was that on my work laptop(where I had the issue), The version of the OS was Windows 7N(This version does not have media player bundled). And on my other computer(where the installer worked perfectly), the version was one which had Windows media player installed. I found the media update to get Windows media player installed, downloaded and installed it and then restarted and tried the emulator. Not Surprisingly, it worked perfectly.
