Reinstalling Android Studio does not reinstall Android SDK


The first installation it was fine, Android Studio and the SDK was installed properly. Later on I have a problem with SDK and had to reinstall Android Studio. But when I try to reinstall Android Studio, I can't see an option to install the SDK:

installation screen

And when I launch Android Studio, I am getting the error:

Select SDKs

How can I install the SDK properly?

What I tried:


Solution
