-Unzip failed...Access is denied- error while adding Android SDK components to Eclipse

Question

Eclipse (3.5) -->Window-->Android SDK and AVD Manager--><> When Adding SDK Components, there is the following error message:

Downloading Documentation for Android SDK, API 7, revision 1 Installing Documentation for Android SDK, API 7, revision 1 Unzip failed: C:\Program Files\Android_SDK\temp\DocPackage.new01\navtree_data.js (Access is denied).

This is followed by another message: -Nothing is installed- I use Windows 7 64-bit system. Could anyone please help to get around this? Thank you in advance. vmitsura

Answer 1

The easy answer to this question is Right click eclipse.exe and select "Run as Administrator". Now it should all work as a charm.

Note that this only works if you originally did "Run as Administrator" when you first installed the Google plugins. If not, they may be disabled when you Run as Administrator and then you may need to delete the plugins and start over doing this. Otherwise, you'll keep having problems with permissions down the road.
