Google USB drivers through SDK Manager access denied

[blizz419]

yea i dunno why i couldn't get java to work with SDK maybe if i reinstalled SDK and somethin goes funky when you install java through SDK setup, but no point now quick ADB worked flawlessly i'll probably end up removing SDK unless i find some reason to keep it seems unlikely though

I had the same problem as you. My question now is: are you running on windows 7??
If yes, you need to run the SDK manager as admin.

Steps:

1. Download the usb driver from this place: https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/usb_driver_r04-windows.zip

2. Place it at your android-sdk/tools folder (zipped).

3. Run your SDK manager as admin and try again to download the package.

It worked for me. Good luck!

not that I know anything, but try running sdk manager as administrator. Then downloads work

I know this is an old thread, but I just wanted to mention how this helped me! Thanks

File not found: C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\temp\usb_driver_r04-windows.zip (Access is denied) Was having that problem and one of the other posters said run sdk in admin and it worked perfect for me then
