Android Studio Update: Some conflicts found in installation area

Question

When I start Android Studio, it shows popup regarding new update of 1.1 release. But when I start updating, After downloading all patch files, while restarting, it shows following error:

I searched almost everywhere on Google and Stackoverflow. There are already two questions on so: this and this. But none of them are have any correct answer. I also tried running as administrator, restarting PC, turning off the firewall, uninstalling antivirus. But none of them worked.

I am using windows 7 32-bit. How to solve this problem? Can anyone help?

Answer 1

I know this is an older question but I encountered the same error while updating SDK components in Android Studio 2.3.3. I was able to fix the problem by starting the SDK manager and un-checking the components that showed the error and clicked "Apply". That un-installed just that component. When it was finished, I re-checked the component and clicked "Apply" again. When it was finished, the problematic component was updated to the newest version. This was much quicker than doing a full un-install/re-install as stated in one of the solutions above.

Hope this helps someone.

Answer 2

This is another option, it is not much easier than reinstalling but at least you don't have to worry about your settings getting lost

1. Go to help->about and note the version you currently have installed
2. Download zip file for your current version at https://developer.android.com/studio/archive
3. Manually overwrite conflicted files with files from zip
4. Update normally

Answer 3

I had a similar problem on some other files and could not figure it out.

You should download the last Android Studio version and remove the old one.
