SDK Manager failed to install 'java.exe' locking directory

转自：http://*.com/questions/13587478/sdk-manager-failed-to-install-java-exe-locking-directory

I have ran into a curious error when trying to update Android SDK Tools to revision 21 from revision 20.0.3. The ADT plug-in updated properly so now I am at a stand still until resolved. The initial error I got listed cmd.exe & java.exe as locking the directory, I forced closed cmd.exe and got this: If I force close java.exe then obviously my SDK Manager closes. SDK Manager Log: This is my work computer so I'd really like to avoid any down-time resulting from a reboot, just curious if anyone has come across this issue and been able to resolve. I have tried closing Eclispe and running SDK Manager from the file directory, same issue, I read that someone had experienced this while having the directory opened so I closed and still, same issue. Any help is appreciated. Eclipse: Version: 3.7.2 Build id: M20120208-0800 Update: Fresh reboot did NOT resolve. android android-sdk-tools share|improve this question edited Nov 27 '12 at 16:23 asked Nov 27 '12 at 15:28 Asok 5,16421742

2   android.bat has the comment Copy android.bat and its required libs to a temp dir. This avoids locking the tool dir in case the user is trying to update it. The Android tools are terrible. :( –  NateS May 11 '13 at 19:29 add a comment

I resolved this by copying my \tools folder, naming the copy \toolsCopy. Then I ran android.bat from the \toolsCopy folder with Administrator privileges. Running the SDK manager from \tools locked the renaming of the \tools directory, for obvious reasons. SMH
