Trying to update Android SDK

In trying to update my SDK to the latest, some things installed, but others* didn't.

*SDK Platform Android 4.0, API14, revision 3
Google APIs by Google Inc., Android API15 revision 1
Google APIs by Google Inc., Android API14 revision 2
Sources for Android SDK, API14, revision 1

I got this err msg:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-= Warning ! =-
A folder failed to be moved. On Windows this typically means that a program is uing that folder (for example Windows Explorer or your anti-virus software.)
Please momentarily deactivate your anti-virus software or close any running programs that may be accessing the directory 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platforms\android-14'. 
When ready, press YES to try again.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Even after manually stopping a McAfee service and MS Malware service (MS Security Essentials) via

Task Manager, I still got this err msg.

The error highlighted (in brick red) in the Android SDK Manager Log is:

Failed to rename C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platforms\android-14 to C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\temp\PlatformPackage.old01.

That is the answer. C:\Program Files is protected against user modification.

Unfortunately, the SDK Manager does not escalate it's privileges. That would be a nice addition to the Windows version.

I don't know if this will help but generally a few things might cause problems like:

Having a device connected or the emulator running.

Forgetting to run the Android SDK tool as Administrator.

Some errors can occur with the windows "program files (x86)" path. I tend to just move the Android folder to the root C path so the SDK would be at C:\Android

If you've covered all that then I'm not sure. It should usually just work without you having to do anything else.

If you started the update from eclipse, it might help to exit eclipse, and go to your sdk/utils directory and start de SDKmanager from there. This worked for me after I got the same message today.
