POAndroid-SDK package installation error although Eclipse & SDK manager are run as Administrator on Vista
text
Body
copied!<p>I am running Windows Vista and have an error in my Android application which is presented by Eclipse as:</p> <pre><code>The container 'Android Dependencies' references non existing library 'C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\tools\support\annotations.jar' </code></pre> <p><code>CornBoyzTutorial Build Path Problem</code>. I go to the 'C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\tools` folder to see that there is no <code>support</code> folder. The beginning of Eclipse presented me with <code>This version of ADT requires Android SDK Tools 17 or above. Current revision is 16. Please update your DDK Tools to the latest version.</code></p> <p>I have run Eclipse as Administrator and go to the Android SDK manager, to see that there is an update for the Rev.16 <code>Android SDK Tools</code> to Rev 19. I press for the installation of the packages and get the window message that the SDK Manager:failed to install, a folder failed to be moved, On Windows this typically means that a program is using that folder.. (eg anti-virus), ..close any running programs taht may be accessing the directory C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\tools`, When ready ... try again.</p> <p>The console message is:</p> <pre><code>[2012-05-06 13:35:20 - SDK Manager] Failed to rename directory C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\tools to C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\temp\ToolPackage.old01. </code></pre> <p>The Android SDK Manager Log message at the end is:</p> <pre><code>Done loading packages. Preparing to install archives Downloading Android SDK Tools, revision 19 Installing Android SDK Tools, revision 19 Failed to rename directory C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\tools to C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\temp\ToolPackage.old01. Done. Nothing was installed. </code></pre> <p>I have all anti-virus software turned off and no programs accessing this directory. I also ran the SDK manager from the Android folder directly as Administrator with the same error. I have also tried restarting Windows. Previous times when I update never showed this problem.</p>
