Android: trouble updating to Android SDK Tools, re

Question

Currently I have Android SDK 2.1 (+ tools revision 4). I'd like to upgrade to Android SDK 2.2. When I try to do it I'm informed I need to upgrade Android SDK Tools to revision 7 first. So I agree, the process starts and then I get an error:

-= warning! =- A folder failed to be renamed or moved. On Windows this typically means that a program Is using that Folder (for example Windows Explorer or your anti-virus software.) Please momentarily deactivate your anti-virus software. Please also close any running programs that may be accessing the directory 'D:\Install\Programming\android-sdk-working-dir\android-sdk_r04-windows\android-sdk-windows\too!s'. When ready, press YES to try again.

Downloading Android SDK Tools, revision 7 Installing Android SDK Tools, revision 7

Failed to rename directory D:\Install\Programming\android-sdk-working-dir\android-sdk_r04-windows\android-sdk-windows\tools to D:\Install\Programming\android-sdk-working-dir\android-sdk_r04-windows\android-sdk-windows\temp\ToolPackage.old01.

I am aware of http/https and antivirus issues. So I disactivated my AV. I also closed any application that might hold a handle to the folder. Eclipse is also closed (I start the manager via command line). However I still get the same error.

Looks like the only app that can hold a handle to the folder is the manager itself, because its starting directory is the one the error complains about ('\tools').

I am on Win XP Pro + SP3. I run as admin.

Does anyone have an idea?

This has worked for me:

The SDKManager lock itself while reading the source.property file located at \tools\
I've used the Process Explorer utility from Sysinternals as follows:

1º execute Process Explorer
2º Choose "Find File or DLL" and search for "property"
3º Double-click on the file listed located at tools folder
4º At the bottom window right-mouse on file and choose "Close handle"
5º Try again to continue with the installation

So long,
Jose
