Solution: Manual Installation
One effective solution is to manually download and install the Android SDK Platform Tools. Follow these steps:
- Visit the Android Developer Platform Tools page.
- Download the appropriate zip file for your operating system.
- Extract the contents of the zip file.
- Move the extracted folder to your Android SDK directory. For example, it might be located at:
C:\Users\Public\Documents\Embarcadero\Studio\19.0\CatalogRepository\AndroidSDK-2433_19.0.27659.1188. - Re-run the SDK Manager to verify the installation.
Following these steps should resolve the installation issues, allowing you to proceed with additional package installations.
Alternative Approaches
If the manual installation approach doesn’t work, consider these alternative solutions:
- Run your development environment, such as Visual Studio or Android Studio, as an administrator. This can often resolve permission-related issues during installation.
- Ensure that your development environment is up to date. Upgrading to the latest version might resolve compatibility issues.
