an issue updating Android SDK Tools rev 19 to rev 20 using windows 7- 64bit

Question

I have an issue updating the android SDK tools rev 19 to rev 20 & Android SDK Platform-tool rev 11 to rev 12.

I checked the SDK manager log and it displayed the below error:

File not found: C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\temp\platform-tools_r12-windows.zip (Access is denied)

Skipping 'Android SDK Tools, revision 20'; it depends on 'Android SDK Platform-tools, revision 12' which was not installed.

Done. Nothing was installed.

Answer 1

Have you tried running the SDK Manager "as administrator" ?

Following steps to run SDK manager as administrator on windows 7

• Right Click SDK Manager
• Select Run As Administrator
• Click the YES button (if asked for)

Answer 2

This method works only for Windows 7 x64 :

1. Right click on SDK.exe
2. Click Properties
3. Select Compatibility
4. Check on Run This Program in Compatibility mode for Windows XP SP3.
5. Run this Program as Administrator.
6. Apply & Ok

Answer 3

Try this:

• Dowload zip file from this link.
• Navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\temp\ and extract dowloaded file to this folder
• It will rewrite your platform tools folder.
• Download SDK tools revision 20 from here and add it to temp folder.

That's it. It works for me.
