Question

I am trying to install a Android 2.3.3 API 10 shown inside the SDK Manager (not some outside package whatsoever) by default.

I click accept and could not install and below is the entire log of what happened that the SDK Manager spilled out:

I noticed that there was a few reference to:”File not found: C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\temp\samples-2.3.3_r01-linux.zip (Access is denied)” or some sort of linux.zip thing but I am using a Windows 7 instead of a Linux OS.

Why would Linux be brought up ? Wouldn’t it be obvious that linux binaries not work on Windows ?

Answer 1

You have to run it as admin since you get Access is denied errors. Windows (> Vista afaik) does not allow to write to C:\Program Files (x86)\ without that.
