I'm trying to upgrade the Android SDK tools from revision 15 to revision 16. The update fails, claiming that a "folder failed to be moved":
Failed to rename directory C:\android-sdk\tools to C:\android-sdk\temp\ToolPackage.old01
I tried disabling my antivirus (as this problem has been reported by some people in 2009), and it didn't work. A fresh reboot didn't work, either. I'm encountering this problem on two different Windows 7 machines.
I did not encounter this problem upgrading from previous revisions all the way up to revision 15.
Anybody knows how I can circumvent this?

Open the Preferences window by clicking File > Settings (on Mac, Android Studio > Preferences). In the left panel, click Appearance & Behavior > System Settings > Updates. Be sure that Automatically check for updates is checked, then select a channel from the drop-down list (see figure 1). Click Apply or OK.
Quick fix: Go to the Tools –> SDK manager –> SDK tools. Deselect Hide obsolete packages option on the right bottom and further install Android SDK Tools(obsolete). A new folder named Tools is now generated in the SDK directory.
Extracted from here:
INSTRUCTIONS:
- make a copy of the tools directory and call this new directory tools2.
- DO NOT USE 'SDK Setup.exe'.
- Instead open up a cmd.exe window as administrator and run the following from this new tools2 directory (obviously the full path on your local machine will be different): J:\android-sdk-windows>tools2\android.bat update sdk
Basically, as noted before in this thread, 'SDK Setup.exe' invokes tools\android.bat, which makes it impossible for it to rename the tools directory thereafter. It's a bit goofy and should never have passed QA validation..
