SDK Manager failed to install 'java.exe' locking directory
android, android-sdk-tools
Solution
I resolved this by copying my `\tools` folder, naming the copy `\toolsCopy`. Then I ran `android.bat` from the `\toolsCopy` folder with Administrator privileges.
Running the SDK manager from `\tools` locked the renaming of the `\tools` directory, for obvious reasons. SMH
Problem
I have ran into a curious error when trying to update `Android SDK Tools` to `revision 21` from `revision 20.0.3`. The ADT plug-in updated properly so now I am at a stand still until resolved. The initial error I got listed `cmd.exe` & `java.exe` as locking the directory, I forced closed `cmd.exe` and got this: If I force close `java.exe` then obviously my SDK Manager closes. SDK Manager Log: This is my work computer so I'd really like to avoid any down-time resulting from a reboot, just curious if anyone has come across this issue and been able to resolve. I have tried closing Eclispe and running SDK Manager from the file directory, same issue, I read that someone had experienced this while having the directory opened so I closed and still, same issue. Any help is appreciated. Eclipse: Version: 3.7.2 Build id: M20120208-0800 Update: Fresh reboot did NOT resolve.
