[android-developers] Re: Noob: Help in setting up Eclipse

I'd say your main problem is that you assume you can write in C:
\Program Files. You can't (in Vista and later), unless you run as an
administrator.

You could run a command shell as administrator, and do it from there,
but I'd suggest you not do that. I'd suggest you put the SDK somewhere
else -- like in a directory with no spaces in the name, like C:\Android
\SDK. Also, I'd do the same with Eclipse. This will help you avoid
various bugs in various scripts.

You may also need to refer to this issue, if you find you have further
problems.

Then -- I'd check the SDK version into your revision control system,
so you can later rebuild your application in the same environment.
