URL Not Found Error in SDK Manager

Question

As of lately i have not being able to update / install SDKs from Android SDK Manager.

I get the following errors:

Preparing to install archives
Downloading Android SDK Platform-tools, revision 20
URL not found: C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-studio\sdk\temp\platform-tools_r20-windows.zip (Access is denied)
Downloading Android SDK Build-tools, revision 19.1
URL not found: C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-studio\sdk\temp\build-tools_r19.1-windows.zip (Access is denied)
Downloading Google APIs (x86 System Image), Android API 19, revision 5
URL not found: C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-studio\sdk\temp\google_apis_x86-19_r05.zip (Access is denied)
Downloading Glass Development Kit Preview, Android API 19, revision 8
URL not found: C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-studio\sdk\temp\google-gdk.zip (Access is denied)
Skipping 'Android SDK Tools, revision 23'; it depends on 'Android SDK Platform-tools, revision 20' which was not installed.
Done. Nothing was installed.

I have given full right permissions on the directory that the SDK manager is installed as well as the temp directory

This might help, make sure that the temp folder exists in physical form. I had an issue of not able to generate temp folder. — user1912695, Jun 27 '14 at 05:42
What OS are you running? If it's Windows make sure to Run as Administrator. — RossC, Jun 27 '14 at 08:08
To the close-voters: In my opinion this is on topic, since the emulator images are also updated via the SDK Manager, and questions about the emulator are on topic. — aleksikallio, Jun 27 '14 at 10:33
Once I ran as Admin it worked out. But until recently I ran this without doing run as admin. Thanks for the answer. Perhaps if you put it donw as an answer I can accept it. — Suminda Sirinath S. Dharmasena, Jun 27 '14 at 15:12

While android-studio was already running I tried to run "android.bat" at below location by right clicking and choosing run as administrator which ran SDK manager and download worked for me.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-studio\sdk\tools\android.bat

Running "C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\tools\android.bat" as administrator on Win 10 worked for me. Thanks! – Augusto Barreto Apr 17 '16 at 00:23
Just want to say that it is May 2016 now, and this worked for me! I installed Visual Studio and Xamarin, then created a Xamarin.Forms app with no issues. But when I tried to create an Xamarin.Android app in Visual Studio, it asked me to update the SDK. I also installed Android Studio and the latest Java SDK, but my project still asked for a newer SDK and the above was failing. Finally found this thread and ran the .bat file as an admin. Instant success! (Well, I had to close the Windows Explorer since it had a lock on the folder location, and was blocking one of the steps) – Shahed C - MSFT May 12 '16 at 05:19
