Eclipse "Permission denied" error when trying to launch app

I'm trying to get started creating some apps for Android but I keep running into this Eclipse error:

NAND: could not read file...android-sdk_r07-windows\android-sdk-windows/platforms\android-7\images/system.img, Permission denied.

Do you think I should delete the package and re-install? I'm wondering whether it could be a corrupted file, although it says "permission denied" which makes me think not so. I just installed the plugin for Eclipse and created my emulator but I can't run because of this error.

I have googled searched this and could not find a relevant answer. Any help would be greatly appreciated. :)

I suggest you to log in as a administrator if you are using Windows 7. When you open Eclipse, right-click on the Eclipse icon and select Run as Administrator.

The file seems to be locked or otherwise could not be read.

First you could try to run Eclipse as an Administrator (especially if you are running Windows 7, which has stricter file access than XP).

May I suggest that you download Process Explorer http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653 and hit Control-F to search for system.img. Then you'll probably find which process is locking up your file. You can kill the handle in the bottom view of process explorer.

If all else fails you can reinstall Eclipse and/or ADT from scratch. Good luck!

This looks like file locking in windows. I will download unlocker for windows and check for processes that have lock on the folder you mentioned. What happens when you run emulator in the command line?

The documentation on the Android Developers Site is very helpful. It couldn't hurt to uninstall the SDK and then try a reinstall closely following the directions given on the above link.

I suggest reading developer.android.com - the section about SDK, ADT is not so big. And then maybe reinstalling the SDK step by step.
