 * In both cases, the script will search in it for AVD system-images and adb binarys
 * `ANDROID_HOME` Sets the path to the SDK installation directory -> [AOSP Variables reference](https://developer.android.com/tools/variables#envar)
 
+### Notes for Microsoft Visual Studio AVDs
+* `ANDROID_HOME` needs to be set properly i.e. `set ANDROID_HOME="C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk"`
+* `"C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk"` needs elevated write permissions
+* the script will ask for user permissions, every time it needs to write to those locations
