It is a mistake to put the Android SDK into the programfiles folder.

See the installation instructions here: https://www.b4x.com/b4a.html#installation

"C:\Program Files" is read-only.

Move your sdk files to another folder.

Personally, I NEVER install anything in "C:\Program Files" if I can help it.

EDIT: Gosh you're quick @DonManfred

Thanks @DonManfred. I understand now. Since it's already there in programfiles folder, will it be alright to just copy it to my drive "C"
