SDK Manager failed to install 'java.exe' locking directory

I have ran into a curious error when trying to update Android SDK Tools to revision 21 from revision 20.0.3. The ADT plug-in updated properly so now I am at a stand still until resolved.

The initial error I got listed cmd.exe & java.exe as locking the directory, I forced closed cmd.exe and got this:

If I force close java.exe then obviously my SDK Manager closes.

This is my work computer so I‘d really like to avoid any down-time resulting from a reboot, just curious if anyone has come across this issue and been able to resolve.

I have tried closing Eclispe and running SDK Manager from the file directory, same issue, I read that someone had experienced this while having the directory opened so I closed and still, same issue. Any help is appreciated.

Fresh reboot did NOT resolve.

I resolved this by copying my \tools folder, naming the copy \toolsCopy. Then I ran android.bat from the \toolsCopy folder with Administrator privileges.

Running the SDK manager from \tools locked the renaming of the \tools directory, for obvious reasons. SMH
