If you use SDK Manager in Eclipse:

Option 1: Right-click on eclipse.exe and select "Run As Administrator".

Option 2: If you don't want to start Eclipse.exe as Administrator just install/copy Eclipse installation files from "C:\program files\Eclipse ADT Bundle\" to some unprotected folder, like "D:\android\". Run "D:\android\eclipse\eclipse.exe", select menu item "Window => Preferences => Android" and change "SDK Location" to "D:\android\sdk\". After that you'll be able to install new packages in Android SDK Manager.

Answer 4

go to sdk folder and right click on SDK manager and run with administrator and enjoy installing.
