Open Android SDK Manager from Eclipse as an admin

Question

My Problem: If I don´t open my SDK Manager as an Admin, I can´t download the new updates. (Error) So I always went in the sdk dictionary and then I run it as admin.

But how can I run the SDK Manager as an Admin, when I want to start it from Eclipse without going into the dictionary?

Answer 1

How about right-clicking on the SDK Manager.exe, selecting "Properties", then switch to the "Compatibility" tab and checking "Run this program as administrator"? That should do what you want.

Answer 2

Try to start Eclipse as Administrator. That should do the trick.

In order to do so, right click on Eclipse shortcut and then on Shortcut tab, click on Advanced options and check "Execute as admin"
