Hi Jason, I hope your aware that you can launch the SDK setup.exe from outside eclipse to update your sdk.
I have an issue in the proxy settings, if you launch the sdk setup outside eclipse you can only set the proxy, it won't ask for for user name and password. So, we need to launch it through only eclipse in order to work behind proxy. thanks rk On May 26, 12:23 pm, Jason <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi all, > > I recently bumped into a problem installing the latest SDK update (r6) > in eclipse on Windows (7), which I ultimately "solved" and thought I > would share. > > During the update of the SDK, the update process was trying to rename > a folder (C:\...\android-sdk-windows\platforms\android-1.6) but failed > to do so claiming that the folder was locked by another process. > > The alert window that popped up advised that on Windows this is often > due to Anti Virus software monitoring the file system (or some such > message).
