Adnroid SDK Manager Access Denied Error

I tried to update the Android SDK with latest revisions and I kept getting “Access denied” error.  I checked the folder permissions and all seemed fine.  I updated the permissions anyway to allow “Full Control” but this still did not work.  I then tried to execute Eclipse using the “Run as administrator”.  This worked for all the components except the “SDK Platform”.  The system could not update the “SDK Platform” due to conflicts with Eclipse being open.  So I closed Eclipse and ran the SDK Manager using the “Run as administrator” and this worked perfectly.
