Open the sdk manager and search for "firebase-installations".
There are 2 packages to install.

I just gutted my laptop to reinstall everything. I'll let you know once I get everything running again. Thanks

Steps so far

Installed java - OpenJDK 11(recommended)
installed Android SDK + Required Resources
installed B4A
set all the paths in Tools -> Configure Paths

Started the SDK Manager and received the following error

Error: Error: Could not find or load main class com.android.sdklib.tool.sdkmanager.SdkManagerCli
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.android.sdklib.tool.sdkmanager.SdkManagerCli

I replaced the new command line tools
commandlinetools-win-6609375_latest.zip with sdk-tools-windows-4333796.zip
and now it appears to work ei. the "Maven artifact not found: com.google.firebase/firebase-installations" is gone

Thanks

I did follow them and it did not work

When I replaced the new command line tools
commandlinetools-win-6609375_latest.zip with sdk-tools-windows-4333796.zip (an older version) it is now working

Thanks for all your help

This means that the zip wasn't unpacked properly. Use 7zip to unpack it.

 

[sdixon]

I only use 7zip
commandlinetools-win-6609375_latest.zip had a downloaded size of 84,490 kb
sdk-tools-windows-4333796.zip had a downloaded size of 152,478 kb
maybe it wasn't packed properly

 

[Erel]

It works for 99% of the developers. It was packed fine (by Google).
Some developers did encounter this error and were able to solve it by doing it again. Maybe some old files were left in the folder.

It is a mistake to use the old SDK version.

 

[sdixon]

I deleted every reference to anything android from my laptop.
I reinstalled everything as in https://www.b4x.com/b4a.html at least three times, deleting the files installed between each new installation.
I finally used the old version of the sdk, installed the new version over top of it not copying the five text file duplicates.
Now the IDE works, my programs compile, and run on my test devices.

I must be in the 1% of the developers that it doesn't work for.
