Android: trouble updating to Android SDK Tools, revision 7

I'm trying to install 6 new updates to the Android SDK (to version 17 from 16), I get this err msg:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

-= Warning ! =- A folder failed to be moved. On Windows this typically means that a program is using that folder (for

examplle Windows Exploder or your anti-virus software.) Please momentarily deactivate your anti-virus software or close any running programs that may be

accessing the directory 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platforms\android-15'. When ready, press YES to try again.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I closed everything except Eclipse itself, tried again; same err msg.

I then turned off MS Security Essentials; same err msg.

What need I do to get this install to "take"?

Update:

When I restart Eclipse, I get this err msg:

This Android SDK requires Android Developer Toolkit version 17.0.0 or above.

Current version is 16.0.1.v201112150204-238534.

Please update ADT to the latest version.

You need to close Eclipse. Run the SDK Manager from your Android SDK directory instead of through Eclipse.

OK, I'll try that; I always run Eclipse as Administrator, though, so I didn't think that would be an issue. – B. Clay Shannon-B. Crow Raven Mar 22 '12 at 17:18
It's because Eclipse is using the android sdk and locking the files. – Tony Mar 22 '12 at 19:13

Aha! So it's blaming the problem on someone else, when it's really causing the problem itself. Eclipse, or the SDK, is not far from becoming a human! – B. Clay Shannon-B. Crow Raven Mar 23 '12 at 00:01
