Android Studio Setup Wizard Stuck on Downloading Components

So far, I've run into a brick wall when trying to open Android Studio. Installation seems to run fine, but when I open the program for the first time, I am greeted with the setup wizard which informs me that it will be downloading components.

The first line in the dialog box tells me that the sdk has been installed in a specific location, which it then lists.

At the bottom, there are greyed-out navigation buttons for 'Back' 'Next' and 'Finish'. The 'Cancel' button is active, but when I click it, nothing happens.

There is no button for 'Show Details' to reveal what is going on behind the scenes.

Basically, this screen does not advance. I have tried on multiple different internet connections. I am not using a proxy.

When I hit cancel, the button becomes greyed-out, and nothing happens. The only way to exit the screen is to force close it in Task Manager.

I have tried running as an administrator.

I am currently running Windows 8.1.

Any ideas what is wrong?

I had the same problem , but trying to install Android Studio on Kali Linux , and few years later than this thread :) I solve the issue just by installing SDK using the Android Studio itself , which is able to be executed even without the SDK , then from Settings > Languages and Frameworks > Android SDK you can install it, and from here the download and installation get processed with no issues.

Uninstall Android Studio and clean all the junk files, then reinstall it should fix that!

First, Run "Control Panel" ⇒ "Programs and Features" ⇒ Uninstall "Android Studio"

Then make sure to delete any of these files if exist:

C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk (this directory contains the SDK).
C:\Users\username\.android
C:\Users\username\.AndroidStudioX.X
C:\Users\username\.gradle
C:\Users\username\AndroidStudioProjects (these are the Android projects written by you)
