Setting up Android Development Environment on Windows 7

I want to start learning Android developement. I have a windows 7 Home Premium Operating System. My problem is I am not able to setup the environment of developing android. Here is what I have done till now.

  1. I have installed Java (both 32 bit and 64 bit versions)
  2. I have installed Android SDK (installer_r08-windows.exe)
  3. I have not yet downloaded any tools or platforms or ADT.
  4. I have downloaded 32 bit eclipse. (eclipse-SDK-3.5.1-win32.zip)
  5. I am stuck at this eclipse setup. A strange thing I observed is that, it does not install. When I click on eclipse.exe, it starts running from there only. I am still not sure if my eclipse installation is proper?
  6. So, I assumed that my eclipse is working fine. Then when I try installing new programs in eclipse, eg google plugin, it gives error.

I want to know, where am I going wrong? What mistakes am I doing? Can anyone guide me with the complete step by step procedure to setup my android development environment on windows 7?

Thanks in advance.

I found I had to relax Windows 7's security settings quite a lot just until Eclipse was fully set up, and then I was able to restore them back to their normal setting.

to 5: Eclipse don't have a normal installer, its just a zip file you can extract and run from anywhere.

to 6: What errors do you get? (I will update my answer when you deliver more details)
