I don't have the sdk installed under Program Files, and still got this error when updating some sdk components (outside Eclipse). This is Win 7 64-bit, with administrator rights.
In the end, had to remove all Android stuff (keeping Java and Eclipse) and reinstall, then it worked. Didn't take more than 15-20 minutes, actually. -- Kostya Vasilyev -- http://kmansoft.wordpress.com 12.02.2011 3:51 пользователь "A.
