I've been having this issue for a LONG TIME now and I finally got a solution for myself.

I forgot to set the ANDROID_HOME system variable. It has to be set to the directory android-sdk.

Try adding the ANDROID_HOME variable and set it to your android-sdk root directory. (not tools or platform-tools)
