-Unzip failed...Access is denied- error while adding Android SDK components to Eclipse

Question

Eclipse (3.5) -->Window-->Android SDK and AVD Manager--><> When Adding SDK Components, there is the following error message:

Downloading Documentation for Android SDK, API 7, revision 1 Installing Documentation for Android SDK, API 7, revision 1 Unzip failed: C:\Program Files\Android_SDK\temp\DocPackage.new01\navtree_data.js (Access is denied).

This is followed by another message: -Nothing is installed- I use Windows 7 64-bit system. Could anyone please help to get around this? Thank you in advance. vmitsura

Answer 1

This is a Windows 7 specific issue. The "access is denied" message appears when you do not have write permissions to created files & directories in the Program Files directory (which is the case by default).
