Android studio - Unable to move Android SDK

Am trying to install Android Studio for first time. When I try to launch the application the setup wizard tries to download some components but then throws the following error:

Connecting to 'http://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r22.6.2-windows.zip'...
Downloading 'android-sdk_r22.6.2-windows.zip' from 'http://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r22.6.2-windows.zip'...
Unpacking android-sdk_r22.6.2-windows.zip
Unable to move Android SDK

Any ideas?

Sounds like an access problem when unzipping the SDK. This can either be a permission problem or (in my case) the default SDK path resolved to a network share.

When going through the setup wizard, it asks if you want to use the Standard or Custom setup. The default option is the Standard one. However, when you use the Custom option, one of the pages is the location of the SDK folder. Verify that you have access to that path or select a different one.

The solution is the path. Before the installing missing android sdk page, you will see the setup wizard - sdk settings page. There is a path bottom of the page and it must be change with correct path, like this ;

C:\Program Files\Android SDK

and then click the finish button. You will see the downloading necessary files automaticly.

After that you have to create a new project folder

(name=AndroidStudioProjects), The folder name must be this name, it's so important.

in your users folder. for example;

C:\Users\'your computer name'\AndroidStudioProjects

It's tried and confirmed by myself. It may be my first solution but I'm using right now.

When using Android Studio on Windows-based computers, I often stumbled upon this particular problem. Running Android Studio as admin (context-click on the application icon > Run as administrator) fixed the problem on every occurrence I’ve had so far.

My guess is that Android Studio doesn’t have write-rights to the path that is used and therefore needs the extended rights. On Linux and Mac OS, however, I have not yet had similar problems using Android Studio.
