Installing ADT plugin in Eclipse for Android development

when I tried to install the ADT to eclipse (indigo) the following error came up:

Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.
Software currently installed: Shared profile 1.0.0.1316138547364 (SharedProfile_epp.package.java 1.0.0.1316138547364)
Missing requirement: Shared profile 1.0.0.1316138547364 (SharedProfile_epp.package.java 1.0.0.1316138547364) requires 'org.maven.ide.eclipse [1.0.100.20110804-1717]' but it could not be found

What does this mean? How can I fix this?

I have the 64 bit versions of eclipse and jdk, and I tried to install the ADT through the Eclipse Marketplace, same error came up... and I tried to install the eclipse classic... an error came up that said it couldn't find the shared libraries...

Remove the ADT repo (Window->Preferences->Install/Updates->Available Software Sites)
Add Indigo repo ("http://download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo")
Run updates
Add ADT repo again and install

I had this problem and it was driving me nuts!!! Tries everything listed on here but nothing and couple of other ideas from other sites. Finally figured out since I was on $%# &^$% VISTA that I had to move my Eclipse folder out of c:\program files to users. That fixed it. Thanks to all who had ideas as I could not have figured it out without the other help.

It's an Eclipse bug, see: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=350645

You shouldn't need to be administrator to install additional plugins...

It seems that you have to run Eclipse as administrator.
