Validator / GearVR check_submission can't find aapt aapt.exe

I am trying to run the Validator "check_submission.exe" on my dev machine to confirm that our Android manifest is correct for Celestrion... it continues to reply:

"FATAL : Can't find or execute aapt 'aapt'"

It appears that aapt is part of the Android SDK. I've totally re-installed the Android SDK and Android Studio 1.5, but still a search on the HD for "aapt.exe" turns up empty.

I've tried this:

Please tell me how I can find aapt.exe and install it to get Validator working. Thanks in advance,

    Check this path:
    ...\android-sdk\build-tools\23.0.1\aapt.exe
