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

转自：http://stackoverflow.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.

Update:

Fresh reboot did NOT resolve.

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

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