I think your "c:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\system-images\android-15\armeabi-v7a\source.properties" is wrong AndroidVersion.ApiLevel.
Here is my "system-images\android-15\armeabi-v7a\source.properties".

Here is my "system-images\android-14\armeabi-v7a\source.properties"..

I recommend you to delete "c:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\system-images\android-15\armeabi-v7a" folder and "c:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\system-images\android-14\armeabi-v7a" folder.
Then Reinstalling become available, I think.
Please allow, if expression of my English is wrong.

Answer 3

It's very strange. Userdata.img is a part of SDK files that are used for running emulator. Try to reinstall SDK. You shouldn't download images from other resources they are included in SDK.

Answer 4

Check if you have the appropriate repository (highlighted in the image) add-on site registered on your SDK manager ,, in your SDK manager --> tools --> manage add-on sites, if the site is not there add it in the second tab (user defined sites).enter image description here
